php and html

[Anon]

anyone know how to have php code work in an html file? in the manual, it says you can use <script language="php"> </script> tags, but i cant get this to work. i use php 4 with the zend optimizer.

thanks!

<?php

Or

<?
//php code
?>

you need to have set short_tags on for this to work, but php4 compiles by default with that option set (on Linux systems, anyway!)

Or, if you set your options right (check the PHP manual, I think it's enable_asp_tags in your php.ini file)
<%
//php code
%>

This will work as long as php parces the page. If the webserver only interprets .php or .php3 files for php tags then a .html or .htm file will not be parced for php tags. I am not sure how to do it but you can configure you site on Apache to parse .html or .htm files also.
