I found your forum at 16:00 today and have managed to get a template set be it rather primitive none the less it was working, thanks again.
Now I feel I have more confidence to tackle other tasks.
May after all this flattery (Don’t they say it will get you everywhere) as for some help and advice?
You see I have also experimented with the include command and have managed to get this to work independently to the templates, but can not get it to do what I have been trying to do and that is, I sell items on various auction sites and my auction template is quite large and with the contents on some sites exceeds the size limit. Now I have been using iframes but this have to be set height wise to cater for the whole description, which in some cases is as large as 9600px.
I have tried using the include command but as the page is not a PHP (auction page) it will not work.
So after this entire question is there any way of getting data into / onto a page if the page is not php?
My intentions are to build a database of auction stock and have just one template page changing just a few lines, when stock changes.
AddType text/html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html
or you can name your pages with .shtml extensions - that will tell the server to look for the includes.
welcome to WebmasterWorld - we're glad you're finding what you need :)
Welcome on Webmaster World
Not sure I read you "Loud and Clear"
but to use PHP scripts within an HTML page you need:
First to be sure that your html doc will parse a PHP script
it will be done through .htacces doc
create a ".htaccess" doc
That will contain:
RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
if you use FTP sometimes .htaccess docs are not visible
you will need to type below MKDir (right col) -a and hit "enter"
Next to include the PHP script in your html do:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>
<?php
include "my_php_script";
?>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
keep in mind that you can call the php script from any level using ../../ etc...
Your help and comments are very much appreciated, but the problem I have is not loading into a PHP page it’s loading into an auction page?
As you can see I am unable to change the page format, and most of the auction sites prohibit the use of JavaScript, so if I have not fully understood the answers and you did the questions I apologise.
But if you could see your way to possibly break your replies down so as I may understand I would be very grateful.
