Not able to use execute php in my rule in hosted environment

Question

I use a drupal 7 installation. On my localhost dev environment i had no trouble importing rules. Now that i am on a hosting environment i am not able to import a certain rule using "execute php". I am also unable to create the rule myself pasting the php code in particular action.

Once i paste the code and hit save the page just skips back asking for the action to add.

Leaving me with no error messages or what so ever

What am i missing here.

Is it a lack of permissions on my hosted environment?

Many hosting companies prevent use of `exec` on shared hosting, which is required for the `execute php` to work. — ceejayoz, Jan 08 '15 at 16:45

I don't believe this requires exec as per ceejayoz's comment. Check that the "PHP filter" module is enabled in your module list.

Yes it is enabled and permission set as well. The install on my hosting is a clone of my local dev install. – user25765 Jan 08 '15 at 20:33
It was indeed my hosting company who was preventing the use of php exec – user25765 Jan 09 '15 at 09:05
