RE: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?
I don't think that you have to request anything. I think you can do this with a .htaccess file. Like so: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm This would go in your root .htaccess file. Mine allows this anyways(hostrocket.com). Also if you have a control panel that you can add MIME type, you can do the following: application/x-httpd-php Here is the link with the information: http://support.hostrocket.com/index.php?page=index_v2id=110c=15 NOTE: This might be hosting provider specific, I have not run any tests on other providers.

Try creating a new file with:

And save it as something.php, check and see if it returns a table full

You CAN embed PHP in .html files PROVIDED THAT YOUR WEBSERVER HAS
ENABLED SUPPORT. Since you do not have access to the webserver then it
is up to your provider to enable support. Generally they WILL NOT enable
support since the .html extension is reserved for non-scripted HTML
content. This means developers can lessen the load on the server by not
having regular HTML content pass through a script interpreter. Your
needs are in the minority, so it's suck it in time where you either
remove the dynamic part, change the extension, or start hosting your own
webserver.
Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?
The web server is set up to see the .php file extension and pass the entire page to the PHP engine for processing. Then the web server passes the results back to the client's browser ( HTML, text, and images).

RE: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?
Why cannot I embed php in html files? I'm relatively new to PHP, but I am fairly sure that it is possible to have PHP embedded in .html files, as my web hosting service accomplishes exactly that. I believe it's just some kind of setting in Apache or somewhere else that you or your web hosting service can configure. On my web hosting service, the file can have a .html extension, but there must be ?php ? tags at the very beginning of the file, on the very first line before absolutely any HTML code, including doctype headings. If you want your PHP to work it's magic somewhere else in the page, and not at the very beginning, it's no problem, just put some harmless bit of code at the beginning, and then place whatever it is that you really want to do within separate ?php ? tags where you want it. Personally, because I work with software that generates templates for all my web pages, I put the following code at the start of every page: ?php session_start(); ? I chose session_start as a command because I often need sessions, and if there is a session, it needs to happen before the HTML head tag anyway. If one of the pages based on my template doesn't have a session, or even if it doesn't use any PHP at all, then the HTML parser seems to just ignore the ?php ? tags and whatever is in it and output the .html file no problem. Bottom line - speak to your web hosting service about configuring .html files to be parsed by the PHP engine. If you're running your own server, then you'll need to consult someone more advanced than I. Also, I can't ensure there aren't any errors or drawbacks to my advice, I'm just relaying how my web hosting service seems to handle the issue. Hope that helps. -- Yoroshiku!

Re: [PHP] why doesn't this work ?
Okay, what you can do is try use an .htaccess file (providing your host
allows them) to make the PHP engine parse .html files.
Create a file titled .htaccess with the following contents:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html .htm
Upload it to the same folder that the .html file is in, and see if it works.
(Oh, and if you are using WS_FTP LE, be sure to add '-al' in the white
box on the right [Remote] vertical line of buttons so that you are able
to view the .htaccess file in the folder once uploaded.)

I've also tried: print (split(=,$testString))[0]; Along with other permutations... the only way I can get this to work how I want it to is to create a temporary variable first. $tempVar = split(=,$testString); print $tempVar[0]; Now I guess this is easy enough to do, but I'm just used to doing it the other way. And the documentation for split() says that it should return an Array... why can't I operate on it as I would a normal array? Anyways, thanks for any help. I guess I'm just too used to Python. :-D Ray Van Dolson -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Why doesn't this work? Please trouble-shoot my script.
I tried your suggestion, as you can see from the script below, but it
still does not work, I get the
word 'array' where I should get the selected options.

Maybe someone can take a look at the script below and tell how to make

the same way the top part works.
put square brackets immediately after the name element of your select
and checkbox tags. i.e.:
select name="mySelect[]" multiple="multiple"
checkbox name="myBox[]"
