use change the file extension to .php and then you can use php and html

read up on mod_rewrite in .htaccess files.

I think he means without changing the extension (for example: so it runs on a website that is not php enabled, such as geocities).

I've heard that you can do this with JavaScript. They always say to use this:

[code]<script language="javascript" src="http://whatever/php_script.php."> </script>[/code]

But that's never worked for me. I've also seen this suggested:

[code]<img src="php_script.php" />[/code]

But I only get a red X when I tried it.

Feel free to try them if you like.

I did find a JavaScript snippit that did return the php output, but only the output from the php file and nothing from the original html webpage (no code... nothing). Not only that, but when I tried to refresh the page (after deleting the JavaScript) it wouldn't change. The php output always showed up even with no code in the html file and the php file renamed!

I'm also interested in a way to display a php output on an html page (aside from using an iframe) on a server such as geocities that doesn't support php.

If you want your PHP code to be parsed in a HTML file you need to edit the servers config file. Such as for Apache you need to find a file called httpd.conf. Look for a a line like this:
[b]AddType application/x-httpd-php .php[/b]
Now add a space after [i].php[/i] and add .html to the end. Save the httpd.conf file restart Apache. You should now be able to parse PHP code in your html files.

i've searched for this file, but haven't found what i'm looking for.

this is in the file:
[quote]# This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support
#  installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than
#  through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism.
#
#LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so
[/quote]

i've also searched for files containg a string like the one you told me, but nothing there

I discovered something about this the other day.. I'm not sure if it works but try this:

<!DOCTYPE PHP PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD php Transitional//EN">

I'm not sure if that is 100% correct, otherwise just use the .php extension as advised.

what version of Apache are you on?
I believe Apache 2 uses apache2.conf instead of httpd.conf it's generally located in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[b]generally[/b], all configuration files are located in the /etc/ folder

Glad you sorted it out :)

I will move this topic to the Apache Server section because people are more likely to search for something like this in that forum.
