Problems with php include and .shtml pages

    Hello,

    First time poster long time browser.

    I've set it up on another site and it worked great but for some strange reason it won't show the ads on www.buycollectablesonline.com.

    All pages are .shtml and it does support php.
    http://www.buycollectablesonline.com/test.php


    I created the ad_network.php and the ad_network_ads.txt and set the permissions to 777.

    I added this to the pages.

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

    As you can see when you view the source you dont see the php script or the <!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" --> code.

    When I few the source via ftp i can see the <!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" --> so it seems to be not parsing the php.

    The weird thing is when i renamed the php file and refreshed the page I would come up with an internal server error.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Try

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

    instead of
    <!--#include virtual="/inc/ad_network.php" -->


    and move the ad_network.php out of the /inc folder into the root
    same with the txt file

    Do your SSI includes work anyway?

    If your not sure use this

    Last modified: <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

    which should insert a line into your page showing the date the file was modified
    (assuming your using apache)

    Also try making a file called emm.... testads.php
    put in it

    <?php
    readfile('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php');
    ?>

    save it to the root
    call it from your browser
    i.e. www.yourdomain.com/testads.php

    you should see a page with an ad on it
