Hi,

i'm useing 2 servers to host my site, one is a "backup" in case the other
fails, or to handle overflow bandwidth.
I want to create a little ID tag to implant at the bottom of my home page to
let me know which server I am logging in to with my browser.

i thought that using php or javascript i could create a simple little
"document.write" statment, ID'ing the server that I could call from the
bottom of the web-page, either with a simple <script src ...> javascript
tag. I tried it with Javascript, but I got a bizarre message "code
corrupted. Insert fresh copy" written into the bottom of the web page (which
I have NEVER gotten using Javascript before, usually the browser debugger
does the reporting!)

if anyone could coach me on how to use a simple PHP include statement (i
assume i could hide the php statement with the server ID tag in my
cgi-bin?), I would certainly appreciate it...

thanks,

Phil
