yes. this is what I mean. What about the converse? Calling a php
script from within html? I have an html static page that uses links to
a 3rd party shopping cart.
I want to use a shopping cart I wrote myself using php/mysql but what
do i replace the links with? I tried replacing them with a link to my
php cart script
(e.g., <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/myCart.php</a>)
You need to place something to click between the <a href...and </a>.
This works and now I can use the header() function from within the
myCart.php script to get back. I guess my question is do I have to use
the <a href=tag to invoke the script on the server side? or a better
questions is can I just do this without problems?
You mean automatically invoke the shopping cart when you load an html
page? Well, you can mix php and html if you wish, just call your html
page <name>.php, and it will be processed as php, for instance like this:
foo.php:
<html>
<head><title>This is a sample</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<?php
if ($_GET["foo"] = "something")
echo "Excellent, dude!";
?>
<p>This is an html-page paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Alternatively, use JavaScript in the page to, eg. fire up a popup window
(do a search for "javascript" and "popup"), and that can source the
cart. You can also do something with frames, etc. It will really very
much depend on what you want to achieve.
