cabbie Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Ive got a html site with 5 columns The columns have 5 links and I would like to use php to fill them. Years ago I could convert index.html to php just changing index.html to php.. For some reason not now.+ It would save hours of time consuming work. <div class="col-xl-2"> Adams County <BR /> <a href=" https://adamssheriff.org/ "> Sheriff</a> <br /> <a href="https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/courts/trial-courts/Adams-county "> Judicial</a><br /> <a href=" https://adcogov.org/ ">Government</a> <br /> <a href=" https://www.brightonco.gov/ ">Brighton</a> <br /> <a href=" https://www.brightonco.gov/203/City-Council ">Council</a> <br /> <a href=" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_County,_Colorado"> Wiki</a><br /> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/328361-php-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Yes, you can rename index.html to index.php and it will work fine, with the following caveats: If your webserver is not set to treat index.php as the DirectoryIndex, then it won't serve index.php if it isn't specifically referenced. It does not automagically make html into PHP. You need to have PHP blocks or add PHP alternative syntax within your html markup. You've provided 6 static links here, and no explanation of what PHP is going to be doing for you. I'd also highly recommend you improve your markup, rather than using a bunch of wonky br's organize your internal structure, and use bootstrap's utility classes as well: <div class="col-xl-2"> <div class="fw-bolder fs-3"> Adams County </div> <ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://adamssheriff.org/ "> Sheriff</a></li> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://www.coloradojudicial.gov/courts/trial-courts/Adams-county ">Judicial</a></li> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://adcogov.org/">Government</a></li> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://www.brightonco.gov/">Brighton</a></li> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://www.brightonco.gov/203/City-Council">Council</a></li> <li class="list-group-item"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_County,_Colorado">Wiki</a></li> </ul> </div> If you have a more specific question, add a follow up.

cabbie Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 (edited) Thanks I am working on responsive maps right now CO counties (64 with 6 links). A project like this takes a lot of time and one looks for shortcuts and easier ways. I'll provide a link below and you go to the nav dropdown maps and see a few i have done. Also you can watch the videos to see why I'm doing this.. I also produce videos (I made these videos) https://cosmaps.org/index.html Edited June 7 by cabbie Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/328361-php-website/#findComment-1654666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It sounds like a simple database structure would likely be very helpful in maintaining and updating data, and rendering maps and links.
