They will not offer to support .htaccess, but that’s OK as long as they let you use it.

Put that .htaccess (make sure it starts with a period) in your forum root, with the line:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

in it.

Then, make sure it’s working. Create a file called phpinfo.php in your forum root. Put this into it:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Then, access that URL http://www.yoursite.com/forum/phpinfo.php. The resultant page will have the PHP version at the top. You want to see PHP5.x.x there, not PHP4.x.x. Try it both with and without the .htaccess to see if it changes. If it’s already parsing php files as PHP5, then we have to dig into what’s not working. If php files are still being parsed as PHP4, the we need to figure out if the htaccess is working or not, or in the wrong location or something.
