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:
<Files />
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
</Files>
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
You don’t need to be echoing the info within the php file. A php include
will automatically include any HTML within that file.
Make sure you’re actually using a index file with a .php
extension, .html
won’t work with php includes. (Unless you’re telling your server to treat .html files otherwise)
Make sure your paths are correctly set up. From your description, the way you’ve set it up your header.php/navbar.php/image.php files should be in your root directory.
So your root directory should look like this:
index.php
navbar.php
image.php
header.php
Otherwise if those PHP files are in a folder called /includes/
, it should look like so:
<?php include ('includes/headings.php'); ?>
