Hello

 

name is Brian... aka basireid, new to this forum, found after searching some stuff on regular expressions

 

have experience with c#.net a few years ago... fairly experienced with html and some javascripting

 

new to php, yet find it is easy to read and follow when viewing source code...

 

currently looking to rewrite a program i made using c# using php, the code is gone, have to do it from scratch, much more fun this way

 

a stupid question

 

can pages be written primarily using html, and saved with .htm extension, include php expressions and commands?

Nope.  Unless you rewrite your apache (assuming your httpd is apache) to link .htm extensions to the php engine.  It is just safer to call use the .php extension and write your html in there natively.  Remember anywhere you don't have:

<?php  ?>

 

Is treated like regular html so...

 

<html>
<head>
<title>Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
</body>
</html>

 

Is perfectly legitimate.
