billbrach Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have seen examples of this in web tutorials but I cannot make it work. Maybe it is a PHP server setting problem ??I have a file called 'test.htm', contents in code window here:[code]<html><head><title>PHP Test Page</title></head><body>This is normal HTML code<?php print ("print some text here");?><br>Back into normal HTML</body></html>[/code]This is what I would expect to see in my browser window:[color=red]This is normal HTML code print some text hereBack into normal HTML [/color]This is what is actually displayed:[color=red]This is normal HTML code Back into normal HTML [/color]Any ideas why the text '[color=red]print some text here[/color]' in the PHP print statement, is NOT displayed by the browser ??Bill Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/31396-solved-embedding-php-code-in-html-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Save test.htm to test.php instead.PHP code is only executed if the file has a .php extension on it and the server is configuredo parse PHP files with the PHP interpreter too.Web browsers do not understand PHP code.

billbrach Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hey, thanks !!I don't have the liberty of changing it to a PHP extension file, 'cause its part of an existing program I adding features to.Shouldn't the server output the text as HTML, which the browser would then understand ? If the server just output the text it would be fine too.Also, my example is very simplified just to show the problem, I'm actually needing to output PHP vars. That part I have working.
