Conflict with php and includes?

[Dexie]

I've hit a problem - I have includes on a page where I'm trying to put some php code, but when changing the pages extn to .php the includes don't work - is there a conflict?

I assume you mean that the includes are SSI?

you can include with php as well.
[php.net...]

If you are switching from SSI to PHP, you should use PHP includes. If the includes are in the same directory as the page you can use this:

<?php include("file.inc.php");?>

Otherwise you can define the path like this:

<?php include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/path-to/file.inc.php");?>

Many thanks for the help on this, I've also come across another help page:

One thing, you have the 'main' page, and then you have another page that will be a php include - do *both* have to have the php extn?

no. you can comfortably include .php in .html, provided that the .html is parsed by the php engine. you need to tweak that with .htaccess

Hi Maxi, many thanks for that.

I must admit, despite the excellent help here and the different websites suggested, I'm having a massive struggle with one page ;-( Would any of you kind souls be able to sticky me, if you could just look at it all please?

Stop press - whooooaaa, I found that I had to first delete the old index.html file that was on the web.

It now works.

Thanks for all the help.

No doubt I'll be back here again soon ;-)
