php not running in html page

Hi group,

I have an HTML page that I want to run some PHP code. I found several "How tos" about this but I can't get it to work. The code is very simple:

Code:

cat  test.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"

 http-equiv="content-type">

  <title>Test</title>

  <meta content="william estrada" name="author">

</head>

<body style="background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); color: windowtext;"

 link="#0000ee" vlink="#551a8b" alink="#ee0000">

<center>

<?php

echo "Last modified: " . date ("F d Y", getlastmod());

?>

</body>

</html>

What am I missing??

Thanks for your time.

Did you enable/set up php in apache?

Code:

sudo yum install php

Code:

sudo apt-get install php

depending on your distro

Once you have apache set up correctly you need to access the page through apache. So don't try to view the page directly in your web browser but access through a proper URL which will make the web service (apache) serve up the page after having processed the php.

Usually Apache does not put files through the php interpreter unless they have the .php extension.

It is, however, possible to make Apache run .html files.

How do I do that?? I am sure that is the problem. Should be on by default??? I added this to httpd.conf:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I just wonder why you use .html extension. I am used to use .php for php code, and I am not sure if php can run in .html file (be parsed). Never the less if you want to use .html file you can include it from .php script. Sense? You can just click on .html file to see the html formatting in browser (If you want to see formatting of page).

[Solved] Needed to add AddType to php.conf

Have you tried saving your html file as .shtml and saving the php component as a .php file then using an SSI to include the .php into the .shtml?

Editing php.conf to get php to run in html files doesn't work on all servers; but php will usually run in an shtml file as an SSI.

Fine, but how on earth does it make coding simpler?

Whether the extension is html or php, the file contents should be identical.

I use Seamonkey ( Mozilla ) Composer to build the page. Unfortunately he does not support PHP code. I just wanted to LastModified date included. Much simpler with PHP.

After installing server etc I always drop in a test page similar to the following:

Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

I do name 'phpinfo.php', just for testing... it's also comes in handy at times...

OK.

I assumed you wrote the code by hand :)
