[RESOLVED] execute php code embedded in html

[tamayo]

Hi, I'm coding an app with LAMP, the design of the website is already done, in some cases is better for me embedded the php code in the existing html files, but when I go to test it, this code are not execute it, it seems like if apache tries these code as html.

My questions are:
what file should I tweak to display php embedded code, php.ini or apache2.conf?
could you tell me that "magical line" to display the code?

Well usually its not a very good idea to let PHP parse .html/.htm files but its possible. It's in the apache config. Try to find the line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3

..and just add the .htm and .html with the rest.

If you run many other sites with that too, you could also just add the type in .htaccess file too to only reflect that particular directory and its subdirectories.

But as I said earlier, it IS better to keep static files static. Remember that when you start a static html page, it loads with PHP consuming more memory than it has to.

thanks for your advice, as you said, for performance reasons, I've decided not process the html files, I will change them to php extension when i need it.
