PHP Parse With FrontPage

Using PHP with FrontPage

[erika1959]

Anyone have any ideas about the easiest way to configure so that my .php files are parsed into .html extensions. In case I've got the terminology incorrect, what I want is to have my .php appear when they are called up with the .html extension.

The added complication in all this is that I use FrontPage, so I can't alter the .htaccess file in my root directory without messing up my Frontpage extensions.

I know that pasrsing these files, but for the time being I can't think of an alternative, since I want to add a php- based timestamp to ALL my HTML pages, which won't be found if I suddenly change them to .php

Yes you can :)

Just add the lines in your .htaccess file and see it work :)

Interesting...other sources have said not!

OK, so what lines would I add? :)

Try this :

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Brill, I'll give it a go!

And if I were going to parse .asp files, would the .htacess file need;

AddType application/x-httpd-asp .html ?

erika1959,

If i'm not mistaken - you are using Apache?
On a linux platform? Or windows?

Apache/Linux cannot parse .ASP files - unless you have Chillisoft or similar.
Only windows IIS/PWS can parse .ASP files (properly)

Have a read through these posts for asp & linux:
ASP on Linux [webmasterworld.com]
Chilisoft ASP [webmasterworld.com]
PHP, asp file extensions [webmasterworld.com]

Hope this helps you.

Kindest Regards,
William

That is, of course, assuming that your server will allow you to do that.

Note that it is generally not a good idea to be passing every .html file as this can take up a lot of unnecessary resources if the majority of your files do not include php code.

erika,

If you wish to Parse .asp files as php, you would need to add the following in your httpd.conf file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .asp

hope this helps.

Thank you to all who've offered help.

I've beeb diverted off-course by more pressing concerns, but I'll be sorting this out in a day or so.

Thanks once again!
