putting PHP inside a HTML page. - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hello,

As far as I know I can add PHP inside a HTML page, all I need to do is open <?php and close ?> when I am finished. But now I am adding some php code to a .html page to upload an image to the database and for some strange reason as soon as the server finds a > (not a ?>) then it thinks the php code is finished and stops executing. Please find an extract of the code bellow:

I've uploaded the page on glcalcados.com.br/labs/oportunidades.html and you can see the code breaks on ($imagem_size > 0) as if the > made the server think that is the end of the php code... could someone please help?

Thanks

<body>


<?php
require_once('fotoappvars.php');
require_once('connectvars.php');

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
// Connect to the database
$dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

// Grab the descricao data from the POST
$imagem = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($_FILES['foto']['name']));
$imagem_type = $_FILES['foto']['type'];
$imagem_size = $_FILES['foto']['size'];

// Check the CAPTCHA pass-phrase for verification

if (!empty($imagem)) {
if ((($imagem_type == 'image/gif') || ($imagem_type == 'image/jpeg') || ($imagem_type == 'image/pjpeg') || ($imagem_type == 'image/png')) && ($imagem_size > 0) && ($imagem_size <= GW_MAXFILESIZE)) { if ($_FILES['imagem']['error'] == 0) { // Move the file to the target upload folder
$target = GW_UPLOADPATH . $imagem;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['foto']['tmp_name'], $target)) {
// Write the data to the database
$query = "INSERT INTO fotos(foto) VALUES ('$imagem')";
mysqli_query($dbc, $query);

// Clear the score data to clear the form
$imagem = "";

mysqli_close($dbc);
}
else {
echo 'Houve um problema e a sua foto nao foi enviada, favor nos contatar';
}
} } else { echo 'A imagem deve ter como extensao GIF, JPEG, ou PNG e nao ser mais pesada do que ' . (PROMOCOES_GW_MAXFILESIZE / 1024) . ' KB in size. Contate-nos para maiores informacoes'; }

// Try to delete the temporary screen shot image file
@unlink($_FILES['imagem']['tmp_name']);
}
else {
echo 'Por favor preencha todos os campos';
}
}
?>

so, I got no reply but after looking at Google for a day I found out what went wrong so I thought I'd post here the resolution for anybody who needs was having the same problem.

my server was simply not parsing php inside HTML (not reading php inside .html files) , this page has more details on how to fix it:

Harry,

thanks for your reply. I've resolved the matter by changing the .htaccess file and now it's fine.

your server might not recognize a *.html page as a *.php page. If you use php within html sites, you'd better make the name *.php.

Hello,

You are correct, my server was not reading the php but this can be resolved, the solution in those sites:

desilva.biz/php/phpinhtml.html

webmasterworld.com/forum88/3921.htm

having the page as .php is not always easy as I'd have to echo the whole html code.

Thanks for your reply

No, you do not have to. Just rename the site. You can write the html as usual and insert the php-Code with
<? php
…
?>
where you need it. It is really that easy!

What did you change in the .htaccess file?

luizarios · 07-22-2011, 04:00 AM

Laugh,

That's what I added to .htaccess

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