How to call script from html page?

Is it possible to call a php script from an html page? I have a
TestPage.php that I want to convert to TestPage.html - but still call a php
script from it.

This is how my TestPage.php looks now:

<?php
setcookie("mycookie",time(),3600,"/");
?>
<html>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
<head>
<title>TestPage.php</title>
</head>
<body>
content here
<?php
include 'myscript.php';
?>

The site is hosted on a LAMP server - Apache 1.3.27
Is there any way to make this an html page and still call myscript.php?

RewriteRule /^TestPage\.html$ /TestPage.php [L]

Or if you plan on doing this "globally":

RewriteRule /^(.*)\.html$ /$1.php [L]

HTH =)

What do you mean by "convert"ing it to .html?

Renaming?

There are two techniques you can use....depending on what is easier.

(1) edit your apache conf file and add .html extension to AddType
application/x-httpd-php

(2) force .html to be parsed through php by using the ForceType directive
in an .htaccess file

Hi and thanks for the reply. #1 is already done - httpd will process both
html and php

As for #2 - this would only result in the same problem. What I want to do
is call a php script from an html page that is not parsed by php.

The problem I'm having is this:

When scrolling with the mouse wheel, the bottom of the left nav bar does not
display. To duplicate this problem, size your browser window so the vertical
height is about half of your screen's height. Load the php page and then try
scrolling down. You will notice that the bottom part of the left nav bar
(the part that was not visible due to the limited height of the browser
window) does not display - the left nav bar just stops and ugly white space
appears where the nav bar should. I've tried this on a couple of computers
and got the same result - apparently this is an issue with IE 6 since this
does not happen with html pages.

yes. see my reply to Edward for more details...

If you could provide a link to the page it would help. :)

I don't believe the problem is that the page is php. There must be
something missing/different between the working .html version and the
misbehaving .php version of your page. Please provide links to both and we
may be able to figure out what is wrong.

I was hoping for a link to the .html page and a separate link to the
..php generated page so that I could compare the two.

Just looking at the source http://www.clearpointsystems.com/ it contains
several errors.

(1) you have <div> inside <head>
(2) you have </head> twice
(3) you have <META ...> after the first </head>
(4) you have <body> before the second </head>

I would run whatever page you are designing through a validator to clean
all errors up. If you do not code to adhere to the standard you are
using, then it is highly likely that browsers will interpret things
wrong and cause the weird effects you are seeing.

Take a look at the errors detected by the w3 validator...

Interesting... I've created 2 versions of the same page: one is a php page
and one is an html page:

http://www.clearpointsystems.com (php)

http://www.clearpointsystems.com.htmlpage.html (html)

I seem to be getting same results in both....

Here are links. I will try cleaning up the code and see if the results are
the same.

http://www.clearpointsystems.com (php)

http://www.clearpointsystems.com.htmlpage.html (html)

that second link should be http://www.clearpointsystems.com/htmlpage.html
with a / not a . before htmlpage.html (typing error i'm assuming)

Looking at both I noticed that you are calling "../csi.css" in the .php
version and "csi.css" in the .html version. That might be your something
to look at.

yes, link to stylesheet is wrong.

In any case, I've tried a clean version of the code and still get the same
problem. Maybe the issue is simple IE6 sucks? Do you know of any pages
where a left nav bar works correctly?

Whilst that may be true, I doubt it is your problem, which I think is in
the css. Might I suggest including the css in the document rather than
as a link for development purposes?

here is the stylesheet:

Okay, I've summarized the the problem on the page at
http://clearpointsystems.com/112/index2.php and the page itself is an
example of the problem. Appreciate the help!

That seems to work.

I have it at http://clearpointsystems.com/112/index3.php

Apparently the problem is referenceing the external stylesheet, not html vs.
php as I thought. Nevertheless, the limitation is still with IE6, don't you
think?

No it will still work with an external style sheet. I put it in the same
document for convenience while I was solving the problem which I did by
putting the patterned gif on the back ground of the page rather than the
background of the left nav div. Using the div set at 100% height gives
you a div which is the height of the window. You wanted it to be the
height of the other div with the centre content. How would it know?

I see. It's working now as desired. The issue was the stylesheet after
all. Solving that was a wrestling match for me... Thanks for your help!
