My embedded php code won't execute

Expand Post »

This works:

-----------PrintInfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
--------------------------

But this doesn't:

-------------PrintInfo.html
<html>
<head>
<title> Hello World </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

echo 'This is my first PHP web page.';

?>
</body>
</html>
-------------------------

I'm using Apache 2.0 on WinXP Home with php 5.

Thanks!

Re: My embedded php code won't execute

It has to end in .php to be parsed by the PHP engine, change your file name back to PrintInfo.php.

The HTML code (within the PrintInfo.php code) will not be analysed by the PHP parser, bnut instead be sent straight to output. The PHP parser only reads between the <?php and ?> tags.

Thanks Roberdin. Sorry I should have specified that I'm trying to make web pages with embedded php work, so I was wanting .html files to work. I found out I needed to add this line to my httpd.conf file in the Apache directory:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
to get apache to associate .html files with the php engine.

Re: My embedded php code won't execute

Another way round to use .html is use mod_rewrite to convert .php to .html (any file format you can convert)

The command to add to .htaccess to get html files treated as php is:

AddHandler server-parsed .html

Ok, I know this is an old thread but just ran across it.

How can you do the same as above in IIS. It's in the planning stages to convert to Apache but that may or may not happen.
In any case, do to some restrictions(long story) I HAVE to use .HTM as the first called document. I can use that to run into .PHP docs but it would be nice to be able to start in PHP for some dynamic forms development.

Re: My embedded php code won't execute

you can't run php code inside a .html files.... your files should be saved as .php so it will be parsed at the server.

Actually you can - but it means using htaccess files (as mentioned previously) or using a templating engine (e.g. Rain TPL) which stores cached php files of htmls. For everyday use, I really can't see what advantage there is to be gained from using the *.htm(l) extension if you're using server-side code.
