Is it possible to add PHP code to a .html page?

Is it possible to add PHP code to a .html page?

If so, can you give me a tutorial?

Thanks,

brandon

 

just rename the .html page to .php

that's the only way!

Good luck!

 

Are you restricted from changing the filename? The php on your server can't parse it as php unless the filename is .php

I do believe Shannon is incorrect but I could be wrong.

 

The only downside is that google would have to reindex all of the new pages...and all the links would have to be changed...the site is over 100,000 pages of dynamically created, but now static content.

 

Php is executed on the server side. The php is never shown. For example, my personal site is a php powered wordpress site:

http://www.franklinfamily.org

You won't see a lick of php code.

 

This is incorrect. You can if you tell your web server software to do so.

in apache http.conf modify/add:

# For PHP 5 do something like this:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

Code (markup):

I just tested this for functionality and it works 100%

 

You don't have to do this strictly in the http.conf though; if the config allows for it -- you could do it in the .htaccess file as well.

 

allthewhile,

The problem is that all of the pages are already .html and they need to stay that way.

is there a way to implement a snippet of php code into a .html page?

 

so if i added this:

to my .htaccess I should be able to just put the php code in?

Thanks for all the help

 

Absoulutely YES because you instruct it to parse html pages as PHP also and any PHP code you put in that html page will be parse now

 

Yup, this is probably the easiest way without renaming all the files or modifying the code in any other fashion.

 

You could use mod_rewrite and redirect all the pages to a php page.

 

Thanks everyone!

Used this code:

And now my site parses PHP on ever .html page.

Thanks!

Congrats

 

where can u change it ???

 

Paste that in .htaccess file.

With .htaccess you can even parse haha.lol as PHP.

 

I have a HTML site/page and I need to add a Google Adsense Mobile Content ad. How can I go about doing that because the ad code is PHP, and instead of displaying the ad it displays the code....

 

the htaccess way is easy, though if you have access to your server's config files you can change which file extensions are classed as php files in the MIME types file.
