How can i include a php file within html?

PHP Code:

<?php

// works

if ((include 'template_add_url.php') == 'OK') {

   echo 'OK';

}

?>

This displays my html page as normal, but doesn't include the php file?

cheers

PHP Code:

<?php

ehco"I'm going to include template_add_url.php";

// works

if ((include 'template_add_url.php') == 'OK') {

include('template_add_url.php');

echo 'OK';

}

?>

that should work.... b/c you just checked with an if statement and never actually included it... try that tell me if it works...

You cannot include files within HTML if it's not configured. You can either change the extension to .php, or you can use SHTML. (You would have to change the extension to .shtml though.)

Code:

<!--#include file="template_add_url.php" -->

Plus, include() will not return "OK" if it includes the file. Try this instead

PHP Code:

<?php

// works

if (include 'template_add_url.php') {

echo 'OK';

}

?>

Beaten to the submit button again...

However, it is possible for an include file to return a value and have it tested. The code from the 1st post here is straight out of the PHP manual (and I just confirmed this works on my test setup.)

So, this should work, assuming the file is being parsed as PHP code (either a .php extension or that the .html extension has been added to the list of files parsed as PHP.)

If the include file is something like this -

PHP Code:

<?php

$a = "this is a";

return("OK");

?>

and the code that includes it is this -

PHP Code:

<?php

if ((include 'template_add_url.php') == 'OK') {

    echo 'OK<br />';

    echo $a;

}

?>

the resultant output will be -
OK
this is a

This assumes that the path to the include file is correct, along with all of the other things that could normally prevent this from working.

The simplest thing to do is put this in your .htaccess file:

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

Now Apache will parse PHP code in .htm files just as if they were .PHP files.
