PHP in HTML Pages?

It shouldnt be nessesary for you to change all of your code to php only because your change your file extension to .php. Let me show you my header.php that has minimal php in it, but also has functioning html elements in it.

Code:

<?php
//%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
/*
John Vollrath's Personal Website
Developed by: John Vollrath
12-30-05
Header Page
*/
//%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
$user = 'John Vollrath';
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo ($user) ?> Personal Page</title>
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="363636">
<!-- Logo starts here -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" id="AutoNumber1" width="100%" height="108"><tr><td colspan="2">
<center><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/9617/logo8bs.jpg"></center>
</td></tr>
<!-- Logo ends here -->
<!-- Navabar Starts Here -->

<?php
include ("nava.html")
?>

<!--NavaBar Ends here -->
<!-- Miscellaneous Begins Here -->

<?php
include ("miscellaneous.html")
?>

<!-- Miscellaneous Ends Here -->
<td valign="top">
<center>
	<table width="800" class='bodytable'>
<tr><td width="700" class='cap'><center><?php echo ($user) ?>
</center></td></tr>
<tr><td>
</body>

</html>

As you can see, you don't need to change everything to php code, at least i didnt have to.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php4 .php3 .html .htm

As YourPHPPro said, create a .htaccess file and use the following code:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

Now all .html/.htm files will be paraphrased as php. Is as simple as that.

Wow I posted this back in 2003, but I had e-mail response on this. Thanks for the info though! I'm not too sure how you dug this post up from the depths of the forum o.O

If a file extension is .php, then you can have php in it as well as any html....

But it isn't dependent on the extension. You can easily put php code in a file and have its extension as .xxx as long as the webserver knows to send .xxx files through PHP first...

This must get the record for the longest 'dead' topic pulled back to life...

True true. But for people like me that are hosting on a remote server and can't change the configuration, that doesn't work.

And yes, definitely sets the record

Your right, what I meant to say was that it was older than a year, just a little typo.

Or if someone can help me out with a script that calls HTML FORMATTED text from a text file located on the server.

Yes, you can, and here's the easy way:

1) Use an .htaccess file with this line in it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

That's it, you're done.

All .html pages will be processed as if they had the extension '.php'.
