embeding PHP into HTML

[Tung_meister 0]

hello, do i need to change any of the servers configuration to enable embedded php script to function within a html page?atm if i embed php script into a html file all i get displayed is the raw php or a blank page.

You probably need to edit the httpd.conf file or php.ini file for that.

 

You have to add the extension along with the others....

Did you give the file a .php extension?

No he is talking about embedding php into HTML... there is a way to do that using either the .html extension or .phtml

 

Check those config files

For those who want to have this feature, there is a simple shortcut and it dosen't require to cahnge your http.conf. Just add this line to the .htaccess file:

 

addtype application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .bla

 

You can add wathever you might want to, even something crazy, like .bla, your name or your nickname.

 

In other words, personlize your site. If you do have.... personality.

If needed server-wide:

I'd say in W:\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf

Find:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php3 .php

Edit line to read

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

 

If needed in one or more folders: Use gopo's method, add them via .htaccess

 

 

But I need to point out the security risk associated with this method!

 

Any upload script should probably be updated to see the newly defined files as executables too, and treat them with the same care as .php files are given. Most to me known PHP upload systems see .html files as a kind of documents, and that may be dangerous.
