Embedded PHP not working

mdanielm

I need some help. I am running on Apache 2.0.39 on WinXP Pro box with PHP 4.2.2 installed as a module (i.e., not the CGI version). All my php files (e.g., foo.php) parse/excute like a charm, but any code embedded in HTML doesnt parse.

Example:

Produces a blank webpage--argh!

Help, please...

You need to configure your Apache to parse .html files as php or just save your files that have php code in them as .php
To configure Apache to parse you should be able to do this
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
If your webserver gets heavy traffic this can cause extra overhead though because all html pages will be parsed by php.

Thanks for the thought, but I already had that:

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Any other ideas? 😕

I noticed that if I save html that contains embedded php as a *.phtml file, the embedded code WILL be parsed. Weird...

Hi mdanielm,
Did you get this to work? If so, could you share what you did? Everything I've read says all you have to do is add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm .phtml
to httpd.conf. When I do that, the browser wants me to save the file instead of loading it in the browser 🙁 Thanks in advance if you can help! Later,

I figured it out! 🙂 I guess I can't have the .html files server-parsed for SSI and PHP both, which makes sense. I had SSI processing turned on. If I turn it off and turn php on for .html files it works fine. I hope this helps someone else that was having this problem. You'll just have to remove these lines (or something like it):
AddHandler server-parsed .htm
AddHandler server-parsed .html
and add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
