Why don't PHP work on this site?

[planetp2]

I have a YouTube Playlist that starts random videos on refresh which works when the file is fetched from blackplanet.com but it don't randomize when it's run from x10host.

My guess is PHP must be disabled on x10host. If that is the case how do I enable PHP on my account?

Anyone have a clue how to solve this?

Here is an example of what I mean. The same PHP file is being run from two different locations, yet the one that actually executes PHP is run from blackplanet.

If you do a page refresh from both url only the blackplanet does a random video

This may explain your "problem": (From the Terms of Service, found under the 'LEGAL' tab, bottom right of each page.)
Bots \ Game Scripts

We do not allow any type of script that automates actions on websites such as Facebook, Twitter, or 3rd party games.

I would imagine that this also includes You Tube.

So now I wonder if anyone on x10 is running any PHP scripts from they're account. What about you Kenny9, are you able to run any PHP scripts from your x10host account?

Okay I found out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to run a PHP command from within an HTML file. The correction I made was to place my code to randomize Youtube videos into it's own PHP file with PHP extension then linked to it from within the HTML file and that worked as you can now see below that doing a page refresh starts a random video:

I do not use any of the cpanel programs. I build my web site on my local computer and upload by by FTP.
A back-up is always at hand this way.
