PHP Includes and Notepad


Recommended Posts

I've never bothered to use PHP before, but now.. I am? Anyway, I coded everything in notepad, but when I went to save it, it was still a notepad document. It wasn't a PHP page.

When I saved the file, I typed in "header.php" and it didn't work. But when I type in "header.html" it becomes an html file, so how come it isn't working for the PHP file?

Does it just not work for notepad? Do I need to use a different program? I don't think it would be the case, but you never know. Help anyone?

Notepad usually adds ".txt" extensions to file names. To prevent this add quotes around the file name when saving, i.e.,  "header.php".

P.S. Take a look at [url=http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm]Notepad++[/url].

it's probably because notepad recognizes the HTML extension.  try specifying "All Files" as the file type, and using .php as the extension.  when it doesn't recognize the extension and is set to a ".txt Text File" (or something similar), it will just append the .txt.  you'll find that the file is named header.php.txt for that exact reason.

Thank you very much, I got the php page exttension worked out. ^^ One more question though.

I added the includes, but now I've received a message on the page saying "Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in /home/www/ghopen8.freehostia.com/blog.php on line 1"
The link is [url=http://ghopen8.freehostia.com/blog.php]http://ghopen8.freehostia.com/blog.php[/url] ...if that helps any? I don't understand what I did wrong.

[code]<?php include(’http://ghopen8.freehostia.com/header.php’);?>

That's the blog page coding.

I got it from peachie.nu and then from another site. Various sites have had the same code. I looked at header.php, but I can't see the problem.

This is the header...

If you don't feel like looking at that, I understand.

Backticks are valid in PHP; they run system commands. Your quotes are not single, double, or even backticks--without getting too technical, they're odd. Replace the quotes that are in your include statements from ’ to '.
