Parsing PHP or ASP on .html pages
If this is your first stop on our site, please visit our
homepage to find out more about this
free service.
PHP
By default, PHP code only works on pages that are named something.php It does
not work on something.html
You can either rename your pages .php, or, if you are using an Apache webserver
(you probably are), you can tell it to parse php code on .html pages.
Follow the instructions below if you wish to have Apache parse php code on
.html pages:
Look in your main web page directory for a file named .htaccess. If it is
there, edit it and add a line like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
If you don't have a .htaccess file, use a text editor (like WordPad) to create
a file, put the line above in it, then save it as htaccess.txt. Then upload it
to your main directory and change the name to .htaccess (yes, it starts with a
dot, and doesn't have a file extension).
Add the php code to your .html page and test.
Notes:
1)Some hosting companies limit access to .htaccess files.
2)Some ftp clients cannot see the .htaccess file even though it is there (for
cuteftp use remote filtering and -a as the filter).
3)An error in your .htaccess file will cause a server error, so if you get a
server error check the .htaccess file for simple errors. |
ASP
By default, ASP code only works on pages that are named something.asp It does
not work on something.html
You can either rename your pages .asp, or, you can tell your IIS server to
parse asp code on .html pages.

Go to the IIS Plugin in Computer Management.
Right Click on the website you wish to administer, and select properties.
Click on the Home Directory Tab and then the Configuration Button.
Add a .html extension and copy the values for the .asp entry.
Add asp code to your .html page and test. |
