No... but you do need it installed on the server.

umm..is that something the provider does, or do I have to do that myself? If so, how do I?

To test if your server supports PHP, open up Notepad, and enter the following line into it:

<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>

Then save it as "test.php" (put the filename in double quotes when saving in Notepad), upload it to your webspace via FTP, and see what the webpage looks like in your browser.
If you see the source code, it means your server doesn't support PHP, in which case, the tutorial won't work.
If you just see the line Hello World on the page, it means PHP is installed.

I'm assuming (by the URL) that you're using the free space provided by your ISP. If so, I doubt PHP is installed, and you can't install it yourself. You could, however, sign up for a free PHP-enabled web hosting account at www.portland.co.uk
