Psycho Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) What do you mean it was converted to HTML? It is a PHP file. It does output HTML though. So, what was it before it was converted when it did work? FYI, there are errors in that PHP code. Whoever created that PHP file didn't doa great job.

Psycho Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 OK, so by "someone converted this to html" you mean YOU converted it to HTML. I'm still confused, if it was working as a PHP file, why did you feel the need to change it? But, the bigger issue is you can't simply convert that file to HTML. It has programming in it. You can't connect to a database, and execute logic in an HTML file. The page is meant to be dynamic. however, if you just want a single HTML "snapshot" of the page, then run the file normally as a PHP page, then save the page in your browser as HTML. But, that page will be static, i.e. it will never change based upon data in the database for example.

jazzman1 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 You should avoid parsing a HTML content like in this example in php because of performance in the language!
