php embedded in .htm pages

[wkenny]

I can get my PHP scripts running when they are in .php files.

Is it possible to embed php scripts in .htm files?

If you are running Apache and can use .htaccess, your in luck. Create a new .htaccess file and then in the file save the following:

# Make all PHP code look like HTML
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

then you sould be able to embed php in a .html/.htm file.

Thanks for that.

I'll give it a shot

Why do you want to do this?

So I won't have to change the names of all my pages and laa the links hrefs.

It makes sense that you would want this, but--

1. You could run a PHP script to rename all .htm files to .php if you'd like.
(Loop through all directories and rename any *.htm to *.php.)

2. If you do override the .htaccess like that, you'll make your server work a bit harder making EVERY .htm file run through the PHP parser when they don't all need to.

Anyway, it's a valid option if these aren't too discouraging.
