Include PHP program into HTML table???

[DRB184]

Here's the situation.

 

I have a site using HTML - nothing fancy, because I am NOT a programmer. The site is made up of pages that have a couple of tables that has data etc in them.

 

I don't want to change the site completely, but in upgrading it, I have come across a fabulous program written in PHP that does what I want.

 

What I want to do (if it can be done) is run the PHP program within the table in the HTML page.

 

Let me stress, that I am no programmer so please keep that in mind and keep answers simple...please.

 

I have done some research (although what I have read has mostly gone over my head) but I can tell you that renaming the page to a .php is out of the question - it has to remain a SHTML as it is one page of a site that all runs server side includes.

 

So, is it possible to load the HTML page, with the PHP program running within one of the tables and have the PHP continue to run within this table, independant of the HTML page....and if so...how?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

David.

If your running your site on an Apache server you can add the following...

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

 

to your .htaccess file. This will process all .html files as php. You can then simply use php to include the script wherever you need it. eg;

 

<table><?php include 'phpscript.php'; ?></table>

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I did exactly this and there was nothing.

 

Yes I did change the "phpscript.php" to the correct path and file name. I also made sure the table content worked by putting in a picture, but this program did nothing.

Did the php code itself display within the table?

you can try using an html iframe with no borders to a seperate .php file but that might be dumb. also make sure your hosting supports php.

My host does support PHP - my host is at www.servage.net where you can see all their technical details.

 

I also don't understand what you mean by html iframe.

 

To answer Thorpe - nothing displayed, not even the code.

 

Thanks,

We need to see some code.

Try this, and let us know what happens.

 

<table><tr><td><?php echo "One plus two equals " . (1 + 2) ?></td></tr></table>
