Dear Community, I would like first to thank you for this great forum. It is a great job. My question regards the possibility of integrating a Php forum into an Html webpage. Is that possible? I am still a newbie in web sites programming, and I would be very thankful for any response that may offer some help. Thanks
It is possible if you do some serious tweaking in the header and footer html files of the forum! Other forums are easier than others to do. an e-gaming team I play for uses this but might not do it by that method. Take a look here: http://www.clan-dtp.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=49 They are using FireBoard located at: http://www.bestofjoomla.com/
I think this is a weird question, especially if it comes from a soon-to-be developer. PHP = programming language. HTML = mark-up language. HTML is used for display in any case, if you're using PHP or ASP, doesn't matter much, cause the end-result is still HTML.
Thanks alot B4Nks. This is exactly the thing I was talking about. An Html page where you could also insert a php based forum, like in the website you have provided above. PEace
I think I know what Php and Html stand for. My question was not regarding the differences between the two. If you read it well you could understand that I asked about something not "wierd". Regards.
Using iframe? Old stuff but works too.. nowadays though it's integrating html into PHP and not PHP into html.
Just break into php <?php $code = here ; ?> then continue doing HTML. Dont forget to save as .php file, though!
If you use a forum software such as SMF, you can include almost any part of the forum into any page using SSI. Have a look at http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=400 for more information.
