Where do I put my php scripts and then how do I refer to them in my code.

My web directory is public_html/website.
The page calling the script is public_html/website/happenings/happage.html

I put a php subdirectory under public_html as instructed by my web host but get a "script not found" error when I use any of the following as the script path for test.php:

test.php
../../php/test.php
public_html/website/php/test.php

If I move the .php file to the "happenigns" directory then I get a "no script directory found" error.

Thank you

Assuming you're using apache, look in your server configuration file httpd.conf. Whatever you set your DocumentRoot as is where your php scripts should go. By default it should be your htdocs folder.

To refer to the php script, set the action attribute of your html form to the path of your php script.
