PHP in HTML

jrobbio · #1 01-Jul-2003, 05:46

For those that don't know, I run a forum at http://bbclone.topfunwebsites.com for the BBClone PHP web counter (GPL open source project) and a topic arose that I thought others with sites that have been long indexed by the search engines and heavily linked to have prevented them from changing to .php .
Here it is in its entirety:

PHP in HTML

Does any one know if it possible to log messages from *.html files, I have tried and does not work.

I am no programmer, and i do know that the file needs to be PHP, does any one know of a work around.

See most of our web sites are all HTML and we would like to get BBClone working as a standard.

If you have access to the apache/httpd conf files then have a look at this:

Thanks for the help, but it looks like their is no real way to put ?php ? in to a *.html. I tried the server conf file thing but that just makes all html downloadble.

Hello,
There's one problem: the server needs to know when a file has to be parsed through the php interpreter. This is done by assigning an extension to that binary as done in httpd.conf. So inserting code in a html file won't work unless you associate *.html with php. The only drawback would be that it may slow down performance because anything would be parsed through the interpreter.

add this to a .htaccess file or httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

After that you can insert the code snippet by enclosing it in php tags (see documentation for how to perform it)
Hope it helps

In essence, it IS possible to put PHP within HTML, but the drawback of performance loss is something to watch out for (even though I haven't tested it). Since it is possible to put it in a .htaccess file anyone can test this out without requiring admin rights and it could be confined to certain file areas.

Obviously you don't use Google for your 'researches'...

A web page here in the PHP section is No.1 (currently... and has been for a LONG time) on Google for the phrase Parsing PHP in html!

The article: http://www.desilva.biz/php/phpinhtml.html - Parsing PHP in .html Files.

I'd searched for parse rather than parsing. Bit of an irony that I keep doing this
sorry

Definitely something for me to research with that Overture keyword-thingy...

I thought it was a bit ironic too...

but it is understandable since I should not expect you to have gone through the site with a fine-toothed comb - no need to apologise.

BTW, the bit about 'slowing down performance' is not true. It's just as much load as a regular PHP page, nothing more!

Hmmm.....sounds like your giving the same advice I tend to give everyone using Apache for Linux.....

That you must edit the httpd.config file in order make certain features active...

But most people on this furom I see just try to run before they crawl with all these posts about RPM's......

The fact is going to remain that any Webpage Designer must understand networking just about as well as a networker....

Infact I've seen some Webpage designers how know more then me about Networking...(Thats scary!!!)

Best peice of advice I can give to any computer user is all OS's have there own Services such as Webservers, DNS, DHCP, Firewalls etc..... and for each peice of software they have there own features..... I like Linux because it shuts down most security risks were as Windows leaves most Services open to attacks before you even get it out the box.....

Well good post I have to learn PHP.....So note taken....

later.....
