I'm new to PHP. I installed XAMPP and have Apache running. I created helloworld.php in XAMPP's htdocs and got PHP to display in my browser. My question is, why does my PHP script in my HTML file not display in my browser? Ive never installed PHP on its own. Should I also install it? Would it conflict with XAMPP. My code is below. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello PHP World";
?>
</body>
</html>
I assume you are trying to use php inside .html file?
Try adding .htaccess file or changing apache config with the following line:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
XAMPP already includes PHP, but unless you end the script name with .php it is unlikely to be processed by the PHP engine.
Stop the apache service, then add one change in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf in the section by adding...
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
Restart apache!
This looks like a big fat 'feature' in the current xampp distribution for win 32-bit.
You should add mime type at http conf
for instance in apache at httpd.conf
entry
<IfModule mime_module>
#
# TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from
# filename extension to MIME-type.
#
TypesConfig "conf/mime.types"
.......
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</IfModule>
The php module for apache registers itself as handler for the mime type application/x-httpd-php. And the configuration file apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf contains the lines
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
which tells the apache that all files having .php as name extension are to be processes by the handler for application/x-httpd-php.
If you (really) want to have your .html files handled by the php module as well you have to add something similar for .html extensions. (there are other methods to tell the apache which extension maps to which mime type/handler. But FilesMatch/SetHandler is fine.)
If you want to enable this "feature" for only one directory you can use an .htaccess file to change the configuration for that directory (and its subdirectories).
Too much overkill. All these suggestions lead me down the wrong path for like 5 hours. JK, but I did read a lot of google search items all giving wrong answers and each suggestion was just adding more wrong answers.
The answer is in fact so simple you would want to bang your head: Simply change the file extension from ".html" to ".php"!!! Remember that you can build a webpage entirely out of PHP and all JavaScript and stuff built off JavaScript like, JQuery, bootstrap, etc will work.
Here is a simple example of proof:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Blank Web Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/css.css">
</head>
<body>
<?php
$son = 5;
$nos =10;
echo $son + $nos;
?>
<h4>test to see if this html element can be output too!</h4>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/js.js"></script>
</body>
Notice that I am using your standard html, even though it doesn't show my HTML tags(trust me it's there), web page stuff and have php code inserted inside. Of course the result is 15 and the html element h4 renders correctly too. Change the extension back to "html" and you will get only the h4 element and you will find that your php code has been commented out using multi-comment for html.
I forgot to add that this works for Xampp too.

How can I run simple PHP code inside a .html file?
To execute 'php' code inside 'html' or 'htm',
for 'apache version 2.4.23'
Go to '/etc/apache2/mods-enabled'
edit '#mime.conf'
Go to end of file and
add the following line:
"AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm"
BEFORE tag '< /ifModules >'
verified and tested with 'apache 2.4.23'
and 'php 5.6.17-1'
under 'debian'
You can't run PHP in an html page ending with .html. Unless the page is actually PHP and the extension was changed with .htaccess from .php to .html
What you mean is:
index.html
<html>
...
<?php echo "Hello world";?> //This is impossible
index.php //The file extension can be changed using htaccess, ex: its type stays php but will be visible to visitors as index.html
<?php echo "Hello world";?>
thanks for the ideas but none works here. So i did that...
I am using xampp last version on 2014.
go to \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf.
we will find this bit of code:
<IfModule php5_module>
**<FilesMatch "\.php$">**
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
PHPINIDir "C:/xampp/php"
</IfModule>
Focus on second line, so we must to change to:
<IfModule php5_module>
**<FilesMatch "\.(php|html)$">**
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
PHPINIDir "C:/xampp/php"
</IfModule>
And that is it. Works good!
Simply you cant !! but you have some possbile options :
1- Excute php page as external page.
2- write your html code inside the php page itself.
3- use iframe to include the php within the html page.
to be more specific , unless you wanna edit your htaccess file , you may then consider this:
http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm
Yes, you can run PHP in an HTML page.
I have successfully executed PHP code in my HTML files for many years. (For the curious, this is because I have over 8,000 static HTML files created by me and others over the last 20 years and I didn't want to lose search engine ranking by changing them and, more importantly, I have too many other things to work on).
I am not an expert -- below is what I've tried and what works for me. Please don't ask me to explain it.
Everything below involves adding a line or two to your .htaccess file.
Here is what one host ( http://simolyhosting.net ) support did for me in 2008 -- but it no longer works for me now.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .html
That solution appears to be deprecated now, though it might work for you.
Here's what's working for me now:
AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .htm .html

To run HTML using FastCGI/PHP, try adding this code to the .htaccess file for the directory the script is in:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .html
FCGIWrapper /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5 .html
You can add additional lines for other file extensions if needed.
You need to make the extension as .php to run a php code
BUT if you can't change the extension you could use Ajax to run the php externally and get the result
For eg:
<html>
<head>
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
url:'php_File_with_php_code.php',
type:'GET',
data:"parameter=some_parameter",
success:function(data)
{
$("#thisdiv").html(data);
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="thisdiv"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here, the JQuery is loaded and as soon as the pages load, the ajax call a php file from where the data is taken, the data is then put in the div
Hope This Helps
I'm not sure if this is what you wanted, but this is a very hackish way to include php. What you do is you put the php you want to run in another file, and then you include that file in an image. For example:
RunFromHTML.php
<?php
$file = fopen("file.txt", "w");
//This will create a file called file.txt,
//provided that it has write access to your filesystem
fwrite($file, "Hello World!");
//This will write "Hello World!" into file.txt
fclose($file);
//Always remember to close your files!
?>
RunPhp.html
<html>
<!--head should be here, but isn't for demonstration's sake-->
<body>
<img style="display: none;" src="RunFromHTML.php">
<!--This will run RunFromHTML.php-->
</body>
</html>
Now, after visiting RunPhp.html, you should find a file called file.txt in the same directory that you created the above two files, and the file should contain "Hello World!" inside of it.
<?php
echo '<p>Hello World</p>'
?>
As simple as placing something along those lines within your HTML assuming your server is set-up to execute PHP in files with the HTML extension.
I'm familiar with HTML but only just starting to learn php. I can't seem to figure out why this code isn't working. I've previously had no problems with include()'s but that is when the php code is it's own distinct file. This time around I'm trying to create a dynamic web page with php scripts. I have apache running with xampp and I have the gf.css file and testing.php in the same folder as the main html file.
The problem I can't seem to figure out is that nothing is showing up in the text box when I try and run the HTML page. It seems as though nothing in the php tags is running. I put in echo statements to try and determine what the problem was but nothing showed up unless, however, I placed a h1 tag after the first " in my echo statement. But inn this case, no matter where I placed the closing h1 tag, the rest of the php script just printed. It was as if I couldn't close the tag.
That's as much info as I can give really. Any help and/or explanations as to what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Here's the HTML file
<html>
<head>
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='gf.css'>
<body>
<h1>This is my web page</h1>
<div id='main_box'>
<?php
include ('testing.php');
?>
</div>
</body>
</head>
</html>
Here's the .css file
#main_box
{
height:500px;
width:400px;
color:white;
background-color:1e1e1e;
}
And here's the testing.php file if that matters
<?php
echo "test page";
?>
If you want to write php code then file extension must be ".php". So change your main HTML file extension to PHP.
First Solution:
If you want to write php code then file extension must be ".php". So change your main HTML file extension to PHP.
Second Solution:
You can tell Apache to treat .html files as PHP by adding a new FilesMatch directive:
1. Open C:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
2. Search:
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
3. Add those three line:
<FilesMatch "\.html$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
Third Solution:
You can do it by adding an .htaccess file into your document root that contains:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

I'm trying to learn php and step one is getting php working in some capacity. I'm attempting to use MAMP but I'm having some trouble.
Specifically: if I create a file with the below code and save it as index.html in MAMP's "Document Root" directory, I get a blank page when pointing my browser at http://localhost:8888/index.html.
Code:
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
</body>
</head>
Alternatively, if I put a bit of php into its own file (say test.php) and then point my browser at this file, it just displays the full text of the file in the browser.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I had the similar issue.
Make a new file in TextWrangler or Komodo, or whatever, and add the folllowing code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
You're going to save the file as .htaccess (with the dot in the front; this is the file name).
Save it in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. This is the same place you'll save your php and html files. This .htaccess will be an invisible file; you will not see it in Finder, tho you can if you cd to it in Terminal, or searching w/in Finder and choosing the File Visibility type under Kind.
Now try going to localhost:8888/ and you should see all of the available files there. And with this newly created .htaccess file, you can now embed php inside an html file too.
In MAMP, edit the file:
/Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
and then search for '#AddHandler type-map' (exclude quotes). Below that, add,
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html
Save the file and stop and re-start MAMP. Php parsing will occur in files ending with the extensions: .php and .html.
You must save a file with PHP inside it with a .php extension. So you would need to name it index.php instead of index.html. Simple fix.
So, this just worked for me:
instead of having:
MAMP/htdocs/folder-that-contains-all-files/
put all your files directly in the htdocs folder!
so:
MAMP/htdocs/all your files including index.php etc.
Hope that helps!
Modifying /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
searching for #AddHandler type-map
and inserting AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html
worked for me.
This feels like an extremely n00b question, but here goes...
I have a series of HTML files with a small amount of HTML content inside each (exported from a live system). Its not feasible to change file extensions, as I will not be the person performing this 'export - burn to CD' process when I hand my project over.
Here's a sample page, its extremely basic, it is "01.html":
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/styles.css" />
<title>Introduction</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="chaptertitle">Introduction</h1>
<div>
<p>FBT is imposed on non-cash benefits provided to employees in addition to their normal cash salary. The main categories of fringe benefit for Administrator User are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The private use, or availability for private use, of an employer’s motor vehicles;</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The files are linked to from a main page, everything works fine in that regard - but I am sure I've seen pages with a .html extension parse PHP syntax, how can I enable/ do this? Currently, I'd thought I could do a search/replace on things like 'Administrator User' in the above example to something like:
<?php echo $CFG->username; ?>
...where that variable is defined and available - but the page is being parsed as HTML. In some ways this isn't a surprise, in some ways it is, as like I say I'm sure I've seen PHP code parsed in a file with a .html extension.
It is running on a Server2Go stack (for burning to CD), but during testing it is running on a WAMP stack. I'm not able to modify much about Server2Go.
Ack! Sorry, to clarify:
everythign inside the <body> tag is pulled out and used in a PHP context, a page named 'generate_book.php' which displays the pulled out contents as the PHP pages' own <body> tag.
Sorry, that was somewhat important :P
Well I'm rather sure you're not very accustomed to the way the apache engines works with php. In truth, this isn't a php question but an apache one (in case you're using apache, which I will assume)
The simplest way of doing this, is to add a .htaccess with the following contents:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
This basically tells apache that all .html files should be parsed by PHP, read more about it here.
What you actually saw, I suspect are URL rewrites, read more about mod_rewrite.
If you can't modify the server's setup, then you're SOL. You have to tell the server that .html files should be treated as PHP scripts. There's no way around this. It won't magically start sending them through the PHP parser unless you tell it to.
On an Apache setup, it's a matter of putting in a configuration directly, such as
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
ModRewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.php
AddType
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
I worked around the problem by adding a config variable which is then used in a string replacement call to replace an export-generated string with one which someone can update in a config file, before burning to CD. I can get away with this because the string replacement is essentially the only PHP in these HTML files. I'll close this question after... leaving for anyone to check up on/read about quickly.
