Problems with Included Files

.inc file problem <easy?>

[madcat]

Hi-

In my .html pages, I've included php includes. For some reason, they fail to show up on the Web page. I tested to make sure php was enabled on my host with test.php ( phpinfo() )...no problem. It's just the .html files that won't display the php code output.

This is exactly the way I have it set up on my other sites by the way. I include php includes within my .html pages. In order for this to work I simply used a .htaccess file- so the server could parse .html files with php...

I tried to put this file within the actual includes folder- as well as in the regular directory with the index.html file...

nothing...

Why is .htaccess not doing the trick?

Thanks for any help

Assuming your host is indeed running Apache, they can allow/restrict what you can do with .htaccess files (via the AllowOverride directive, FileInfo being the one that controls this) or even not use/enable .htaccess files at all.

One of these could be why. Do other things work in your .htaccess file?

madcat,

Ask your host if your account is configured with AllowOverride FileInfo or AllowOverride All.
You'll need at least the FileInfo setting to use the Addtype and AddHandler directives in .htaccess.

Personally, I demand AllowOverride All from any hosting company I consider using.

AllowOverride All was On.

Tech support manually changed httpd.conf to read...

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .html .htm

--> Adding .html and .htm

This is what I thought I was doing with .htaccess...? Bit confused as to why the changes didn't take effect.
