I can’t figure this out. I need to add the following lines to my .htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm

Great! Now php includes work in my html pages

DOLT!!! The following line is "ALSO" in my .htaccess file:

AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html

This is needed to parse my SSI includes for web logging.

So, what’s the problem? I can’t add the following two lines (at the same time) in .htaccess:

AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm

If I do, the page invokes a download prompt. What am I supposed to do so I can use both of them together?

Any help would be muchly appreciated,

Dave

I'm not sure why you cant have both together - presumably because the PHP parser wont understand SSI and vice versa. What SSI's do you need that cant be reproduced easily with PHP?

Grin… How about doing it this way: <!--# include virtual = "/block.php" -->

And, using only this in .htaccess: AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html Ah.. That works. SSI's still function and I can now call my php script

I haven’t used includes in so long, (or at least trying to parse php in html pages), I forgot how. Block.php eliminates referrer spam and it works well.

As for why:

(AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html, and AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm) won’t work together, I suppose that will remain a mystery for now.

Thanks for your reply,

Dave
