include php file in php file and shtml file.

[dkin]

I am having a slight problem, my ssi was working fine in all of my shtml pages but I needed to make a few php pages. Now the include of counter.php works on the php files and not on the shtml files.

This is my shtml include

<!--#include file="counter.php" -->

This is my php include

include("counter.php");

And this is my error

[Sat Nov 20 13:59:51 2004] [error] [client 206.172.171.169] unable to include potential exec "counter.php" in parsed file /yorkshire_terriers.shtml

Thank you

Im not sure if we are on the same page because I do not understyand why HTACCESS would come into play.

I have a php include on a php page and an ssi include on an shtml page.

For some reason it does not work on the shtml page but it works on the php page.

if you visit this page you will see what I mean

click around the menu and you will see the include not working on the left side underneath the menu.

Thank you

Have you tried virtual [httpd.apache.org] instead of file?

<!--#include virtual="counter.php" -->

[dkin]

That did not work either, should I just change all the extensions and includes to php?

[jatar_k]

would probably be easier, you can't include it because you are already parsing for SSI and then jamming php in there. They never like to play nicely, the 2 parsers in the same file.

Actually, with the correct server configuration, you can do both but as jatar says, why would you? Since PHP can do everything that SSI can do, including exec some other programs, you may choose to use PHP instead of SSI. However, dkin, you've already stated your case so I believe you are going to need to check your server configuration...

That error message is issued when you are using the Apache IncludesNOEXEC [httpd.apache.org] directive, which means that you are not allowing SSI exec to run programs [httpd.apache.org].
