Trouble displaying result of php script in HTML

Webspeeder

Hey all.

I'm trying to display the result of a php script in my html. I need the file to be HTML so I can't use a file with PHP extension and echo html tags.

I put the php script as the action of a form, but when submitted, it calls the php script and "exits" the html page.....I need to call the php script and remain inside the HTML program to display/manipulate the results.

I've also tried putting <script ....></script> in the head with the src attribute being the php file.

I can't get this to drop. I can't even display php directly in the HTML (not calling external file).....

Any ideas?

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<? echo/print phpinfo(); ?> <---------Displays nothing to page
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

Would I be able to do this with AJAX? I'll try that next.

OK, I can display the data fine, but how would I access the data returned from the php script? It is "tabled" data, meaning many rows and columns.

in the php script, it s echoing the contents of an array, is that array variable available in the HTML code?

There is NO possible way to run php commands on a plain HTML files. period. Yes, you can instead request the data from a PHP through AJAX, but why is it so hard to just use php files instead?

I have been using html files all the files including php codes in them..

You just need to use htaccess .. add these 2 lines in .htaccess and you should be able to run php codes within html files.

# treat html files as PHP scripts
# AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
