I'm pretty new to PHP and I can't find a answer for what I woud believe to be a easy question. I've tried so many things but cannot get it to work. I wrote a layout using XHTML and CSS and I want to add a PHP based gallery that I'll be making to one of the pages.

Is there a way I could either write the script in a seperate PHP file and attach it to the .html file with some code or just copy all my coding and move it into a PHP file and just add it in through there.

This is really bugging me and if someone could give me a answer I'd really appreciate it.

I apologize, I found my answer. Like I said it was simple and just plain stupid. I forgot to delete the <html></html> when making it a .php =\.

You can add the php code directly into the html code.
sorry i did not pay attention when you said .html file.

I know I already solved this problem but I just wanna ask Knight a question. Wouldn't adding the php code into my html code mean I would have to edit my .htaccess file to allow this? I'm making this layout for a friend so I want it to be as simple as possible for him, since he isn't the best with coding.

When i read your post i did not pay attention to you saying you could not put php script in a .html file i thought you meant that you wanted to put php inside of html i did not realize you were not able to put php in a .html file, but you are right just put the php and html in a .php file and it will work. sorry for the misunderstanding my fault.

actually if you wanted you could just:

<html>

<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php
echo "lalalal";
?>

</body>

</html>

and save the file as "something.php"

you COULD do that, but that would probably not be professional - but your new so why not

And the problem with using that kind of code would be?

because there is going to be thousands of programmers who will vehemently disagree with your definition of professional programming!!!

Sure - if you say so - LoL!

I don't care what "thousands of programmers" think of my definition to be honest!

So you think the code is okay then? And the way to do it?

Of course it is.

Why do you think it isn't perfectly okay?

To be honest, I don't want to explain why that's not okay for ME! It's okay for you - great. I'm proud of you, no doubt about that.

I wouldnt do it like that, end of story, if he's gonna use this method then do it...

Why would I even care? I'm just trying to help some people, but ****, your commenting everything - and for what reason?

I think Chris is just pointing out that if the situation calls for it, there is nothing unprofessional about it.

You should be careful about what you claim is wrong or unprofessional. If you haven't anticipated all of the circumstances, you may find yourself doing it one day.

Just my opinion.

**Rotco88** · 03-10-2009, 02:40 PM

I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna do this some day...

Not to be negative, but I have programmed a lot of scripts, and never did I do that. Well Like I care anyway.

**rogem002** · 03-11-2009, 12:22 PM

I think the most professional way to do this, is the fastest (programming and processing wise).
For example:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
include ('init.inc.php'); // Start the file. This imports everything and does everything to run the page.
$page->run();
include ('end.inc.php');// Do a little house keeping. Finish everything up.
?>

Could be both professional (Clean coding, in theory easy to update) and unprofessional (it could take a long time to process).

Yes, of course.

Simply in a .htaccess file in the same directoryadd a line

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

I don't understand, you can add <html></html> in a .php file !

You maybe don't know that between the two <?php ?> you can put html script but only like that:

PHP Code:


			
echo "and the script here";

This may help.

Note: I don't care if is proffessional or not, but it is

I've done the same but not with PHP / HTML. I've looked a problem for so long and thought so hard about it I missed the obvious. Best of luck!
