non embedded php script

lord-fu · 10-10-2005, 07:14 PM

Hello, could someone please show me an example of the tag to link to an external php script? Been googling for awhile and all I find are embedded scripts.
Thank you in advance.

In order for you to call a php script you have to parse it trought a *.php file, so it MUST be embedded.
Not sure if I get what you want, you are trying to load an html file and call a php script in another file?

If so, maybe you can just make a .php file with 99% html, and only put
<?php include('scriptfile.php'); ?>

This will call the file with the script.

Would someone take a look at this please, what I am trying to do is include this php file a hit counter:

Code:

<?php

$COUNT_FILE = "../data/count_data.txt";
$IMG_DIR_URL = "../images/digits/";
$NB_DIGITS = 8;

if (file_exists($COUNT_FILE)) {
	// Open, read, increment, save and close file.
	$fp = fopen("$COUNT_FILE", "r+");
	flock($fp, 1);
	$count = fgets($fp, 4096);
	$count += 1; 
	fseek($fp,0);
	fputs($fp, $count);
	flock($fp, 3);
	fclose($fp);
} else {
	//Display a error message if file does not exist.
	echo "Can't find file, check '\$file' var...<BR>";
	exit;
}

chop($count);
$nb_digits = max(strlen($count), $NB_DIGITS);
$count = substr("0000000000".$count, -$nb_digits);

$digits = preg_split("//", $count);

for($i = 0; $i <= $nb_digits; $i++) {
	if ($digits[$i] != "") {
		$html_result .=  "<IMG SRC=\"$IMG_DIR_URL$digits[$i].gif\">";
	}
}

echo $html_result;
?>

into this index.html file

Code:

</html>

I have tried like you see above and also with renaming the file index.php.Apache does not seem to serve my php page to me as index.php.I have looked through httpd.conf for a way to do this, maybe I missed it..What I would really like is for the php file to be included as I am trying and the hit counter to be displayed.Could someone help me please?
