Hey can you help me. I know nothing about php. Can I use it to put my
pygame scripts on a
web page so that people can play them?
What is php?
Please explain in great detail.
I've been able to put a few simple Python projects online so that people
can access them from a Web page. A few examples are at:

Basically, you have to make a program that calls "print" exactly once,
printing out a valid piece of formatted HTML or text-with-header. The
program can take input from a Web form using the GET or POST method.
See http://kschnee.xepher.net/code/cgitool.py.txt and
http://kschnee.xepher.net/code/treasure.py.txt
for (respectively) a utility and a simple demo of an online Python program.
Actually making the program run is a headache, because -- at least on
the server I use -- you need to put the programs inside a special
"cgi-bin" directory. Then you need to make sure the program is in Unix
text format, and with the right permissions, which requires a
specialized FTP program and the commands:
dos2unix something.py
chmod 700 something.py
