How to use a PHP include?

Ok I have been trying to do this for about 1:30 minutes now, so I am going to ask here.

I have a HTML file and in the side bar I make the include call:

 <?php include("dd.php"); ?>

Code (markup):

On dd.php I have on link:

<a href="#">Portfolio</a>

Code (markup):

But when I test it out on a PHP compatible server etc it does not show up on the HTML file.

Here is the html file http://pimpleblog.com/acnetret/template.html (dd.php and the css file is accessible from this URL).

Thanks .

 

It should be called template.php to work (link)

 

your html files are set to not run Php

Rename your index page to *.php to prove this...

 

I thought it was possible to embed php into HTML? - because to have that page as a .html is almsot a must for me (seo reasons).

Ty.

how do I access AddHandler ?

 

You can try to add following line to your .htaccess (create it if it is not exists):

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Code (markup):

.htaccess - must be located in a directory with *.html you need to be processed, or even better in the website root.

 

dont worry I found a place in cpanel where I could add it, I did and it works great.

Thanks for leading me there guys.

 

no problem (i learnt something new while trying to help you )

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

 

Wow, thanks for this! Something I've been wondering about as well...
