PHP within HTML pages

Might be a daft question?:

Can I have a .htm or .html page with embedded php code?
I am currently trying to test this with some very basic code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<body>

<? echo("Hello"); ?>

</body>

This results in nothing on screen saved as a .htm or html but works on a .PHP save - this is on my own server but also on www.i-websolutions.co.uk

Either that or can someone confirm that .php pages will be indexed by search engines/robots/etc. including the follow links

Re: PHP within HTML pages

PHP code will only run if the file suffix indicates it's a PHP file, the same rule for SHTML and SSI. PHP files do however get indexed by search engines, certainly google indexes them.

Cheers m8 - I'll stop pulling php.ini and httpd.conf in pieces now!
It was the indexing that I was bothered about - I am assuming that META tags in PHP files will be referenced in the same manner?

Yeah, there's no reason why they wouldn't be, the spider/engine will just read whatever client side code it can get at.

Actually all you need to do is put this in a .htaccess file and upload it to the root of your public webspace:

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