    Include php from html

    Hi - I have been asked to add a hit counter to a standard HTML page.
    I have found a php script to implement the counter but need to show it
    on the html page.
    I cannot include a PHP in the html file can I? the web server will not
    pre-parse a html file correct?

    I would like to put the PHP hit counter on the web site that only
    contains html files. Anyone have a good idea how I can do this without
    chaning all the files to .php?

    Thanks,

      Re: Include php from html

      It is most definitely possible to include a PHP counter in an HTML file
      because I have been doing it for years. In my HTML file I include a link as
      follows:

      <p><img src="http://www.mydomain.co m/counter.php?pag e=/whatever.html"
      alt="counter" border="0"></p>

      The PHP script 'counter.php' uses the 'page=' argument to identify which
      document to count, then outputs the result as an image.

      Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

          You can instruct the webserver to pass *.html files through PHP
          interpreter. If you are using Apache you may be able to use an .htaccess
          file (unless prohibited by sysadmin):

          # For Apache 2:
          <Files *.html>
          SetOutputFilter PHP
          SetInputFilter PHP
          </Files>

              You could also display the counter in a frame or <iframe> on the page,
              I've done it before, sorry I can't give you an example right now, I
              havn't used frames in ages

                  Of course you can. That is what <?php....?> is for. Rough template looks
                  like this:

                  <html>
                  <head>
                  <title>
                  <?php Requires, class declarations and alike?> </head>
                  <body>
                  <tag>
                  <?php action ?>
                  </body>
                  </html>


                  It is one of the biggest advantages of PHP that is freely mixable with
                  HTML. Otherwise, you could use perl instead.
