php doesn't work in html files

#1 (**permalink**) 01-11-2004

Hi there all,

I use Apache version 1.3 and WIndows 2000. The site is not global but only
local so I use the url http://localhost/index.html

This index.html look's like this:

<html>
<body>
This is a line
</body>
</html>

<?
echo "this is the second line";
?>

Output is: This is a line

So the php part is not done at all. Is that right? I always believed php
should work in html?

Assuming you have the web server set up according to PHP's installation
docs, you either need to rename index.html to index.php or tell the web
server to run .html files through PHP (refer to the PHP manual for
details on how to do this).

By default the webserver only treats files with the .php extension (and a few
others, see your webserver config) as PHP files.

If you want it to process .html files as PHP then look for the following line
(or similar) in httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php .inc

and add .html to the end of it, then restart Apache.

Try to rename the .html file in .php (index.html -> index.php) and test it.
You can reconfigure apache to pass all .html files to php compiler but i
don't recommend it because it reduce drastically the performance.

Do you have PHP installed?

Because the replies to the question that you quoted were all different,
your comment makes no sense (I'm not sure that it would make sense
anyway).

If you are trying to make an important point, please rephrase your
comment. Otherwise, please refrain from making off-topic comments.

Thanks.

Chris

Hi,

It works. I decided to add .html to the list of extensions that will be
opend by php if asked for in apache. I understand here that it will take
more time before html files are processed? True?

Thanks all, Nico Berg
