Quick Tip: Use PHP on .HTML files

Ever wanted to keep your files ending in .html (that's the way they were before, or you want to have them like that because it "looks better" Wink

)?

If so, here's a little tip. It only works with Apache, but most servers use Apache anyway Mr. Green

Put the following text in a file called ".htaccess" in the root of your site:

Quote:

<Files *.html>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

That's it!

Your .html files should now be parsed by PHP.

To do the same with any other files, just replace

with

you could do this with less code, simply:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php html inc cuo

This would make *.html, *.inc and *.cuo be parsed through PHP.

Yes, that's true. But my example can be more widely used, as you can use it for only one file: Razz

Quote:

<Files blabla.html>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

well, then it depends on your specific situation...

not sure why you'd need to use it on just one file though...

Well that's what we're having to do at 4WebHelp, because we have some files which have no extension Smile

I took Daniel's suggestion and put the Force Files directive in my .htaccess file so that all the html files at my site can contain php which will be parsed. But, tonight I noticed that I have one subdirectory that really needs to be exempt from this directive. So, how do I remove the <FORCE FILES> directive for just one subdirectory? I tried 'RemoveType application/x-httpd-php .html' and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Maybe

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php php

would work? Question

Not sure if this works, but try

Code:

ForceType text/html

It's worth a try Wink

Daniel, tried your latest suggestion in re ForceType but that didn't work either. Sad

Again, thanks for trying to help; I appreciate it.

if you used the force type thing for .html, try using just .htm for the files in that directory...I know it'll mean a lot of renaming and link changing...but it's all I can think of Very Happy

Adam,

Thanks for your suggestion. It does sound like a feasible solution -- and one that requires merely dropping one letter! However, as you note there is the tedium factor. There is also another way to resolve the problem that is also tedius -- replacing each '<?' in every file with <? Looks like the solution here will either way involve being less lazy than I'd like to be! Wink
