HTML and PHP

[isa]

Hi guys,
how can I invoke a PHP script form my HTML pages ?
I'm using <!--include virtual="/php/myphp.php"--> but it slows down my server. Unfortunately I have thousand of HTML pages and I want to display a specific banner on them through a PHP script.
Any suggestion ?

Thanks and kisses
Isa

So you want to display a header/footer?

Some HTML Code here for the Header

<?
if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
  $page = $_GET['page'];
  if (file_exists("$page")) { include("$page"); }
  else { include("404.html"); }
}
else { include("main-page.html"); }
?>

Some HTML Code here for the Footer

Put this into index.php, you can then execute it like server.com/?page=file.html

And it will display the header, then file.html, then the footer.

If you just want to include some code in the page itself you can do so with SSI (server side includes) by adding an ssi line of code into each html file.

Thanks guy but that's what I don't want to use. My pages are .HTML and I would not use SSI directives because they slow donw my server.
Any other suggestion ?

Thanks

Hey,

I dont think there is anyway you can use .html extensions for php code unless you edit your php ini file.

However, I have come up with a solution:

Most servers will only parse files ending in .shtml for Server Side Includes. You may not wish to use this extension, or you may wish to retain the .htm or .html extension used by files prior to your changing the site and using SSI for the first time.

Create a file called .htaccess (u may need to create a file called htaccess.txt then rename it once uploaded) Add the following to your .htaccess file within your main folder (where index.html is):

AddType text/html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html
AddHandler server-parsed .htm

upload the .htaccess file and insert this code where you want your php banner code to display:

< !--#include virtual="/banner/banner.php" -->

< !--#exec cgi="/banner/banner.php" -->

Note: Make sure you add remove the spaces between < and !

All the SSI command is doing is executing the php script.

If that doesnt help/work you'll have to edit .html as an extension to "parse" with php

forgot to mention that you display either the include OR the exec, depending on which one works (try include first, its the usual one)
