Some PHP troubles

[isa]

Hi everybody,
I would like to know which method is better when I'm writing my PHP scripts.
1. I write my scripts then I invoke it adding a query string
test.php?NUM=10&FMT=test&TPL=temp;
2. I wirte my script then I use it like a function. I include test.php in my .html page then I call function with parameters
function test(aNum,aTest,aTemp);

How I have to call a PHP script from a .HTML page ?
<PHP include"/path/test.php"; ?> or
<!-- include virtual="/path/test.php" --> or
<script src="/path/test.php"></script>
Which one is better ?

Please help me.
Thanks
Isa

If you aren't going to call the page "something.php", and you must embed PHP in HTML, why don't you set your server to parse pages ending with *.html .... unless it's a heavily trafficked site, the performance hit won't be that terrible...

Ok Thanks. If I'll do that how I have to work with my scripts?
I have to use a query string or it's better to call a function with parameters ?

It's really up to you. Keep in mind that if you use a query string, your script can be easily changed by the user....
