I have installed the php package and I can create php pages and get them to work. However, I cannot get php code inside of html pages to work or parse. I think that the problem is in httpd.conf, however, I could be wrong.
I can run a php page to display the version. Also, I can run phpMyAdmin. When I add php code to the html page, nothing happens. According to documentation that I located, I needed to add a LoadModule line and an AddModule line. Then I needed to modify the AddType line to include .html.

I did these steps, restarted httpd, stoped/started httpd, and nothing happens. Any ideas as to what I need to do or undo?

What do you mean by a php vs html page? Apache uses the extension to figure out what to do with the page. So normally .php is processed as PHP and .html* not.

But as I understand it, you can modify the AddType line for a virtual site and add the .html extension so that php will parse the html pages.

Yes, that is true, but they would still have to be coded as PHP.

I added the following code to a html page:

<?php
echo "Hello"
?>

and nothing happens. When this code is embedded in a php page, then it works.

Yes, that looks correct.

What is the AddType for .php and what is it for .html? You stopped/stared Apache after making the change?

Frank

I used one line for the AddType:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php .html

I also added AddType application/x-httpd-php .html to the srm.conf file.

I stopped/started Apache after making the changes.

I missed a typo. It should be:


<?php
echo "hello";
?>


Missing the ";" after "hello"

I thought AddType only accepted one extension(such as .html) per line

The documentation that I read explictly stated to add to the same line. The document was found at :
