[SOLVED] PHP from HTML?

[ravix76]

I've created a dynamic site using PHP and MYSQL which is working great. To save server load, I have an admin feature that dumps all the pages (static) to HTML for browsing. However, on the dynamic site, I have a php include with checks IP Address and records a hit if it is unique. As the HTML dumping simply reads the source of the outputted dynamic page and dumps to HTML, the IP Addresd feature doesn't work.

 

Is there a way to call a PHP Include from HTML or do I need to dump all the static pages to php instead?

 

Thanks

any php code using an include function will need to be used on a .php page to work.

 

this is not true if a programmer sets the php.ini for .html file to work for php.

Ok. I'm now outputting static files to filename.php using the following...

 

$staticpagedata = file_get_contents($sourcepage);

 

and then writing to a file. Thus $staticpagedata contains the outputted source of the page and not the dynamic source eg

 

<-- Stats Start-->

Static PHP outputted to browser (ie not dynamic)

<--Stats End-->

 

What I then want to do is replace all data in the $staticpagedata between "<--Stats Start-->" and "<--Stats End-->" with "<?php virtual('/stats.php'); ?>"

 

In Summary Is there an easy way to cut / replace "EFG" from string "ABCDEFGHIJ" when you know point "D" and "H" but EFG might not always be EFG.... ie I can't use "Str_replace" because I don't know what I'll be replacing"

 

erm... hope that makes sense! 

Many thanks!

Different thought!

 

I've put term [sTATS] into the dynamic page and thus can str_replace it with "<?php virtual('/phpincs/stats.php'); ?>"

It'd make partially no sense to map PHP to work for HTML files, because then it'd add a little extra load to your server for every HTML file. I think it's just a good idea to let PHP map to it's proper extensions (phtml, php, php3, etc.)
