Can you include a file.php in a html page?

Can a php file(file.php) be included in a html page?
I have tryed several differant ways

<?
$file_text = implode('',file("file.php"));
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
echo strtr($html_code, $trans);
?>
I get a error with the above.

I have named the page everything:
.html
.php
.php3
have even tryed .shtml
any ideas?

thanks😕

Why don't you take include()?
http://www.php3.de/manual/en/function.include.php

include("file.php");

You have to name your html file .php, so it could be parsed by php interpreter to execute the include() function.

when I call the page testing.php with this:

I get this error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'common.php' (include_path='') in /home/compasss/public_html/calendar/index.php on line 2

Please post the first three lines of calendar/index.php
the error tells you that the 2nd line of this script is making a problem

grace5

CALENDAR/INDEX.PHP

<?
require("common.php");

// what view is the default? let's go there
Header("Location: ./".$glbl_DefaultView.".php?LocationID=".$LocationID);
exit;
?>

It's looking for common.php in the nonexistent include path that it's listing. Fix your include path or set the filename explicitly, ie:

require "/usr/local/www/common/common.php"

Or wherever 'common.php' is located.

As an aside to one of the earlier posts, apache can easily be set to parse .html files with the php interpreter --- for details, see httpd.conf
