(I can't believe I am asking this question :confused: )

 

After a long break I am rewriting some HTML on my wife's site in Php to make updates easier, improve functionality etc.

 

I tried to add some inline PHP to refresh my memory (see above).

It wouldn't work'.

The output ccfcgfcccdx was seen but the PHP was ignored.

I checked that the file appliqueApr14.htm'' was in the same directory as the code.

 

I rewrote the code to have this snippet as an include portion. See 2nd snippet

They are linked together as the 3rd snippet.

 

The silly thing is that on the site the nav buttons on the left run as PHP with no apparent trouble.

 

The URL is http://www.petalsandpatches.com/footer.php

 

I can only assume that I am missing something so basic.

 

What have I done or not?

By default, php only gets executed/parsed in .php files, not .html files. If you want it to parse .html (or .htm) files you'd have to setup your webserver up to do that. But there is not advantage, seo or otherwise, to have .html over .php. Best to just stick to .php

Et al

Being looking further at this and am still confused.

Page on wife's site http://www.petalsandpatches.com/pincushions.php uses PHP to display the naviagtion bar on the left.

I have stripped out most of that code but leaving the navigation PHP in pace to compare.

The new page is http://www.petalsandpatches.com/footer-2.php. The output is the centre but just all just the php is echoed, nothing is done with it. All I want to do is echo the date to at least get me started. The footer-2.php has all the header information of pincushions.php to eliminate all variation causing trouble

Why does this not work

 

Footer-1.php

 

// outputs e.g.  somefile.txt was last modified: December 29 2002 22:16:23.
echo date("Y/m/d");
 
//$filename = 'appliqueApr14.htm';
//echo "Footer.php";
//if (file_exists($filename)) {
//    echo "$filename was last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", filemtime($filename));
//}

?

Yet the more complex 

 

Navigation.php

 

<ul id="navbuttons">

</ul>

work?

The calling code is 

<?php include 'navigation.php'; ?>

<? include ("footer-1.php"); ?>

I have used the '' vs. "" within the includes to see what does or does not work.

 

What am I doing wrong

The "complex" page has no PHP code in it at all; it is strictly HTML.

 

Problem with this:

 

<?php include 'navigation.php'; ?>

<? include ("footer-1.php"); ?>

 

is likely the use of short tags. Try this instead:

 

<?php include 'navigation.php'; ?>

<?php include ("footer-1.php"); ?>
