FW: [PHP-DB] php,mysql,html question

Anything not in an XML tag is HTML, regardless of the file extension. You can have a .php file with the following: <?php $someVariable = "value" ?> <Form Action="FileName.php" Method="Post"> The first line will execute as PHP and the second line will be treated as HTML. Webmonkey has a tutorial on using PHP with MySQL. Have a look at it and you'll see how PHP and HTML are combined.

You could change things so that all files are given to the mod_php module to interpret, so that you could use php code in .html files, but that would slow down your web server (unless most of your .html files have php code in them). I haven't tried it yet but I think there's a way using Apache's mod_rewrite to make the .php files look like .html files to the user. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
