PHP Include for HTML?

Question

I have a navigational bar, an image, and a heading that I\'ll be including in every page of my website, so I wanted to use php include to refer to this code in several pages

Answer 1

You can use php code in files with extension .php and only there (iff other is not defined in your server settings).

Just rename your file *.html to *.php

If you want to allow php code processing in files of different format, you have two options to do that:

1) Modifying httpd.conf to allow this for all projects on your server, by adding:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

2) Creating .htaccess file in your separate project top directory with:

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

For second option you need to allow use of .htaccess files in your httpd.conf, by adding the following settings:

AllowOverride All
AccessFileName .htaccess

*that is correct for Apache HTTP Server
