Very Simple PHP question

Hi,

I have no problem with PHP file, but I just wonder why this simple tag does not work in html file:

<?php echo "It Works!"; ?>

Why? I've search on Goole and there's no solution.

The reason I want to know about this is because I want o migrate my all PHP-powered site into html.

Thanks for your help in advance

 

Its because your extension is .html and not .php, however you can tell your server to phrase html files like as if it was a php file.

To do that you need to create or add to a .htaccess file and place the following into it.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

Code (markup):

or for php5 use this

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm

Code (markup):

 

thanks for the answer, I'll start learning about this .htaccess trick right away.

 

That's not really migrating to html, it just interprets html as php files...

 

It's a big heap of headach. I added .htaccess file and it didn't work.
Anyway, I want to re-design my website in html5 with PHP backup, anyone has suggestions about this?

Thanks

 

Try instead

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm 

Code (markup):

or for php 5

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm 

Code (markup):

 

Tried it and Firefox crashed.

There's no reason for it not to work, remember if your server is running php 5 then you need to amend your .htaccess file to application/x-httpd-php5

 

@ketting00 do you mean you want a design complied with html5 powered by php?
You know that php != html right?
If you want an all html website, then you have to do a new html page for everything, you know that, right ?
