Perl / HTML include problem

Anon

This works in .html documents:

but it won't work if the document is named .php3 which is A) a bummer and 😎 something I don't understand.

Solutions?

I've tried using command() exec() and passthrough() to no avail... :\

I'm not sure if this will work, but my first suggestion would be:

Is PHP compiled as a CGI version?
By default, PHP compiles as a module, that cannot be called by the commandline.
Maybe it will work if you create a CGI version of the PHP program.
and call it like this:

Again, I'm not sure at all.

If you search the forum some more you'll find other methods of including PHP in HTML without using the .php exgtention.

I thought that  was a directive for the HTTP server..? and thus it should work no matter what sends it, just like it doesn't care who/what sends the header info as long as it's formatted correctly.
Right?

Converting all my documents that need this functionality to .html extensions would create so much job so I'd rather find a way to solve this in...

Argh!

is an HTML remark tag.

Apache just allows you to put directives inside this tag.

In the example you gave, you are calling PERL to read a script.
If you wish to do the same with PHP, you'll need an executable of PHP.

Damn. There's NO way around it if php3 is running as module??
God damn. I have alot of work to do then. 🙁((

There is a way around it using .htaccess,
but that basically forces the webserver to parse HTML as PHP.

Well, worth a try I guess... What should I do? 🙂
