call to a php script from html

[igebert]

Hi everybody,

I would like to call a php script from a html page. This works using the following code snippet:

<script language="php" src="count.php?id=test&visable=1"></script>

However, I would like to get some value back produced by that very script (text). I tried to play around with the header functions, but it doesn't work.

Does anyone have had experience with that kind of problem ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

why not just embed or include() the code directly in the html? just embed the code and change the extention to .php (instead of .html).

The problem is that I have a zillion html pages, that would need a change. I'd rather like to use a "web-bug" to perform this task if possible. This makes it also possible to transfer my homepage to a non-PHP host sometime later.

If I use the img HTML tag with PHP file that produces image headers it works perfectly -- now I want to do the same with plain text (mime type: text/plain).

So what HTML tag to use that is supported by all browsers ?!
