Hi there,

could you please tell how to add a PHP Script to an html site. I have a plan to add an instant domain name checker script to my site. But my site is simple html. Could you please tell how to make this work?

Thanks in advance!!

I don't really understand what you want to achieve, but you can mix html and php code in your documents in any way you like.

PHP Code:

<p>Some html code here</p>
<?php
   echo "<p>And then some html generated by php</p>";
?>
<p>You can start php tags <?php echo "wherever you want to.";  ?></p>
<?php

if (4 > 2) {
   ?>
   <p>4 is indeed greather than 2</p>
   <?php
} else {
   ?>
   <p>4 isn't greather than 2? How odd.</p>
   <?php
}

?>

Just remeber to change the file extension to .php

Assuming that your hosting actually supports PHP scripting.

Actually am trying to put a contact us form (php) into a simple html site - <removed> now. If this goes well I will add an instant domain name checker too..

If you do not want to change your page names from html to php all you have to do is set the server to parse html pages as php. This is done in the .htaccess file or php.ini depending on the sever config. The actal syntax will vary slightly depending on the version and the server config also.

you can also create a separate file (like checker.php), then from your HTML page you can have a form where the target is checker.php.

I think that's what you meant right?

Use as Thraka said. Not with html within echoes.
Html within echoes needs some performance.

If you web host has PHP support enabled for your account , youll be able to do this , however if not . the only way around it would be to do an iframe to a webhosting account which does :S

flek:
1. Who do you how with and do they support PHP scripts?
2. Is the code your planning on working with a full .php file or a php code snippet?

If so to #1 and if it's a snippet, you will need to:
[1] Change the extension of the .html page to .php
[2] Add your PHP code snippet into the HTML page source code anywhere you want it to appear
[3] Lastly, change the links of the other pages to go to the .php page instead of the old, .html page.

do u mean about : make function from some php file and call them from html file?

Do you want to put PHP script to a HTML site? Is that what you want to do ?

I think flek disappeared after he figured it out XD

Hi friend, the issue is over. That's why didn't reply. I tried first with a php contact form and it worked well, but still my actual plan is in pending - the contact form can be found at www newgenresoft.com/seoblog/?page_id=17

Thanks for the good replies
