Free hosts and PHP?

When I upload a PHP file to my free host, it doesn’t show up or wants me to save it! Why doesn’t it work?

Unfortunately, most free hosts do NOT support PHP. Typically, the most you can get out of them are HTML files. If you are hosted for free by a friend’s domain, they might support PHP - e-mail them to find out.

Below is a list of commonly-used free web hosts that DO NOT support PHP:

If you are currently on one of these free hosts and REALLY want to use a PHP script, you might ask around to see where you could find free hosting on someone’s domain.
Get-what-you-give.com is a good place to find a host.
If you’re still in need, try looking at the Webhosting and Domains forum (please note that offers here may not be free). :)
