<!---insertfilecodehere--!> not working

[Izzy]

my host enables SSI, yet the code <--insert text file# : blah--> (Not exact code) won't work, even if it is the correct code. I tried a million different things, I even put the url of the text file instead of the name and it did not work...

 

[scolari]

well the fact i dont like ssi try php

 

[Izzy]

I'll need the PHP code for that...

 

[scolari]

just look around these forums i've seen it plenty of times

I think this is the code you're looking for:

<?PHP include "filename.php"?>

 

[Izzy]

alright, then... I'll try it tomorrow (It's getting late over here)

 

[Malamar]

Ok.

Your host will have to support PHP coding, but I don't think that'll be an issue ^^

 

[Imakuni?]

WHos your host? I know for a fact that freewebs doesnt support SSI or PHP, and that appears to be what your site is hosted on.

 

[scolari]

i am his host imukani? it isnt the link in his sig

 

[Malamar]

That's what I was going to say.

So...the question is...Scolari, do you support PHP?

 

[scolari]

yes my whole site is coded with php i pay for my hosting of cause i have php almost even all free hosts have it

Which is weird, because it worked on Freewebs just fine...

EDIT: And yeah, we've moved. I got a better layout and better host

PHP and other languages never work in Freewebs. Freewebs only supports HTML. However there are other good free hosts who support PHP, etc.

SSI DOES work on Freewebs.

And are you using <!--#include virtual="file.html"--> ? Also make sure that you saved the file as .shtml

 

[Malamar]

Ummm...

Actually PHP support is rare among free hosts. I had to look a LONG time before I found a suitable one. Most either put pop-ups/huge ads on your site x.x;;

 

[scolari]

yeah thats the thing they give you php but then they give you ads and stuff

 

[Malamar]

Yep. This is getting off topic, so lets get back on track -->

SD...Is it working? You have to save your pages as .php now though.

 

[scolari]

if you dont mind me saying i think it would be better learning php=id method this way you only have 1 index.php (which hsa he nav links on it) and then pages of content are just blank html files which just have writing on them

 

[Malamar]

I would have to agree. Not only does PHP allow you more flexiblility than other programming languages, its more of a universal standard. PHP works with all browsers, where as Java/script doesn't always.

And it just PWNS HTML/XHTML/XML/SHTML!

 

[Izzy]

*cough*

I might convert the pages. Not sure yet.
