This issue is usually caused by a misconfigured server; if you're host is x10Hosting, submit a ticket. Otherwise, contact them. First, however, check that:

• You are using the .php extension for your index.php file
• Your host supports PHP
• If you have a .htaccess file, try renaming it and trying again, to make sure it isn't causing the problem.

Have you been editing .htaccess in ~/public_html/ or ~/public_html/faq? If so, what have you done? Post the actual configuration, not just a description of what you were trying to accomplish.

You can try re-enabling PHP processing with:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

On an unrelated note, your script is wide-open to SQL injection. The best solution is to switch to the PDO driver and prepared statements (searching this forum or the web will provide more info).

Remove the line

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

from your .htaccess file. Whatever/whomever put it there should not have.
And try to keep your questions in one thread.

Make sure they have the php tags inside. I do not see the <?php ?> tag on the faq page. Make sure the pages have the .php extension also.

You should give us more information. We don't know your experience with PHP, so we don't know if you are aware that you must keep your files within <?php ?> tags or that it must have a .php extention, or even that it must be on the server to be executed. Try pasting the source code of your PHP file, and the .htaccess file, with files names in the post and then we can help.

The linked page has an opening <?php tag, which the browser tries to parse as an HTML tag, and an extension of ".php". The page is missing a closing ?>, though that's optional.

Anyway, Bryon already solved this problem. ekramy has been cross-posting.
