Setup For .html/.htm Files Without A Footer File

Here's a quick little setup if you have a site where the server supports mod_rewrite and PHP, but all your files are .htm or .html...

All these files would go in the root folder of your site:

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
	RewriteRule ^(.*)       /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

passthru.php

<?php
	
	if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
		function file_get_contents($url) {
			$handle = fopen($url, 'r');
			$string = fread($handle, 4096000);
			fclose($handle);
			return $string;
		}
	}
	
	include ('ad_network.php');
	echo preg_replace ("/<\/body>/i", $ad_network . '</body>', file_get_contents(str_replace ('../', '', $_REQUEST['file'])));

?>

PHP:

Drop the normal ad_network.php and empty ad_network_ads.txt file into the folder as well.

What it will do is read any .htm or .html file, and insert the ad before the </body> tag. You can change it up to adjust formatting or for multiple ads, but it should be a start for those that need it.

 

The only real advantage is you don't have to add the PHP code to all the files.

 

You server may not allow mod_rewrites... if you check your error log, you will know for sure.

 

Is your index a .html or .htm file?

For two ads (as an example) you could add:

 . ' - ' . $ad_network[1]

PHP:

right after the $ad_network[0] variable. That will put a dash between them.

 

What's your site URL?

You don't need multiple includes if you have the latest ad_network.php file (from yesterday or today).

 

Not sure to be honest... They are there if you specifically specify index.htm I also tested it on this end, without the filename being specifically specified and it's working for me. So the only thing I can think of is maybe Apache isn't seeing the actual filename somehow with the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} variable.

 

You could do it with the rewrite, then change your index.htm to index.php I suppose... unless you are linking specifically to index.htm somewhere.
