Can I put PHP in a HTML file?

Hi folks,

I've a script that will only work in php and the site I want to use it on has html files. I don't want to change the html files because I want to use the script to track traffic. My traffic for this site comes from the search engines, so I think that if I change the file name it may eventually affect rankings.

Does anyone know if -
Is there a way to put php into a html file?

Or alternatively, is there a way to keep my pages in the search engines but have some sort of redirect to a php file?

Thanks,
Dave

    You can make HTML run PHP lines, just put the following code in your .htaccess

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

        The .htaccess change will work. Just remember that all html files will now be parsed as PHP whether there is PHP code in them or not.

          don´t forget to backup all your files, especially the htacces file before any changes.

          It´s common sense, I know. But as soon as you forget 1 time ... *Caboooom Crahs Bang bup*

            Hi,

            the code I put in my htaccess file is,

            AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html
            AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

            My php scripts work fine now in html and I haven't had any problems with it.

            Dave

                Man, I found this out the hard way! I use HostGator, and they run PHP 5. I could not for the life of me figure out why the PHP was acting screwy. Finally I found this answer... but it was after 3 days and lots of promises to quit forever and hack up my PC with an ax.
