PHP inside html

The-Chihuahua · 11-21-2004, 01:19 AM

I like to program in html because, well, thats what I know. I have some webspace with php support and want to add a php poll and maby some other dynamic content. Everry time I try to add a php yo my html it doesent work. Ive tried adding it through a SSi and not, Ive tried revaming the file, the script works but the page loses all it's html. It there a way to do this, or do I need to find another way?

You need to do this:
To start PHP script/code:
<?php
put_your_code_here

when done with the PHP, use
?>

<?php tells the server/php engine to interpert that part of the code, while ?> exits. You can start/stop as many times as you want...just make sure to leave the HTML code outside of the PHP start/stop codes!

Is that what you meant?

tried that but it doesen't work, my code is a very simple test.

<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>

and it on my index.html page yet I see no hello world

just change the index.html to index.php

then nothing else shows up, only the one line of text and the hello world, My tables and background css and ssi are all gone

you cannot view PHP locally unless you are runing PHP...upload your files to a web server that supports PHP and test it.

maybe that extra line of "Hello world" is throwing the tables out of wack.
You file should look something like:

Code:

<html>
<body>

<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
</body>
</html>

named index.php

Yes, you can put html into a .php document as long as it is outside the <? php code here ?>.

Just make sure the file is named whatever.php

<html>
<head></head>
<body>

<? php code ?>

</body>
</html>
