PHP in html

Hello,
I have a php include command in my website and the script shows up.
However, I need for the script to show up on the right side of page
(there is enough room there)... but for some reason it shows up at the
bottom. I placed the include command in the correct part of my html
file. Is there any way to give some sort of command on where you want
it to show up on the webpage?

Sure, but that's a HTML/CSS issue and has nothing to do with PHP itself.

I don't think it has anything to do with PHP really.
It probably has more to do with the HTML/CSS code.

But without seeing any code it is impossible to even guess what the
problem could be.

You will need to post the code, (HTML not the PHP), so we can tell as
to why the display is the way it is.

A php include has to go in a php file.

HTML includes are normally done using SSI.

If you are using HTL includes then you are asking in totally the wrong
place.

That is incorrect.
You can have php includes in a html file.

How does that work?

a php include must be in a file that will be interpreted by the php
interpreter. The file extension may be .HTML, but the file will be a
php file by virtue of having the include() within php tags and the web
server will have been told that this type of file is a php file.

A php include() within a file that contains pure html and no php tags
will AFAIAA not do anything.

In theory, yes. In practice, no. Because most webservers are not
configured to parse a .html file through PHP.

If the filename does not end in .php (.php5 or other widely accepted
extension which denotes a PHP file) it won't be parsed and the PHP
include won't get executed.

Sure, if you have total control of the webserver you can tell it to
parse every file through PHP but this is considered bad practice as it
will slow down the server.

You can have php includes in a html file.

How does that work?
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
For Apache of course. You just force the MIME type of .html files to be PHP
files. If you're using an executable directory so to say (+ExecCGI), you
could just put #!/usr/bin/env php at the top and it would be treated as a
PHP file regardless of file extension.

If you have any static html pages on your site, you are wasting resources.

It's exactly WHY Apache doesn't by default parse everything with PHP,
PERL, and everything else on the market.

As said, "if you're using PHP for more than just a form on a single

it's just an include of a menu bar script.

Not at all. Databases are quite efficient at retrieving data -
including images.

Nope. Not at all. I have several sites with some pages which have no
PHP in them at all. And if they have a menu bar script, they're
included with SSI.

Doesn't matter here. 20 requests are 20 requests, but it makes a big
difference if the server can deliver them statically as-is or if it has
to invoke a script handler for every single image.

Page-generating scripts can be cached as well, dependent on the
configuration of the webserver and the PHP interpreter.

So you want to tell me that a simple page-generating script wastes more
resources then a script that has to

* open a connection to a database
* query the DB (requires to analyze and optimize the query)
* transfer binary data from the DB into the script
* close the connection
* transfer the data to the webserver

?
And it beats trying to keep
track of thousands (or tens of thousands) of files on the disk.
Doesn't matter here. We were talking about performance and "wasting a
hell of a lot" resources. If you think interpreting all pages as PHP
wastes that many resources, but fetching images from the DB does not,
then there must be something really wrong ...
>Not nearly as much as PHP.
Depends on the server configuration I would say. SSI requires a parser/
interpreter as well. And PHP running as a server module is quite fast.
The work that has to be done by the parsers is quite the same - they
just look for special directives in the HTML code.
>But I didn't say I used SSI on all pages,
either, did I?
Well, using SSI for a menu indicates that.
>They say URI's don't change. They don't say to interpret every page as PHP.
Again: This wasn't the point here. We were talking about leaving out
file extensions from a URL.

Exactly. They say don't change the URL. They don't say interpret every
page as PHP. There are other ways to do it.

Why are you then claiming that calling a script for every page wastes "a

Like an image-from-db script. If it can be done with static files as

Of course it is. You were the one complaining about wasting resources

Looking for <?php or <!--#foo in a string is pretty easy. Even the PHP

Of course it is. You were the one complaining about wasting resources

No, you're just trying to change the topic. Your current argument isn't
succeeding, so you're desperately trying to find an argument you can
score points on. It's not going to work.

You really need to understand parsers more before you make such claims.
Searching for <?php or <!--$foo are not the only things parsers must do.

I _do_ understand that, I just don't agree that it wastes as much
resources as you claim.

Additionally I don't care that much at all about some more or less CPU
cycles (you won't even notice a difference on a properly configured
machine) because there's a whole bunch of other things that can (and do)
waste a lot more.

There are, I already gave some. One reason was to have proper URLs
without a .php suffix. Of course there are other ways to do that, but
passing all pages through PHP is one way to achieve that goal and is
quite easy to setup. This _is_ a reason.

Sure, but that's where it all begins. No processing instruction, no

Oh, but there are - a huge number of other things going on even before
the parser gets involved - like loading the parser in that process or
thread, setting up the PHP environment, parsing the URL, and so on.

With SSI there is no environment to set up, no URL parsing or a lot of
other things PHP does even before it gets to the point of scanning your
file.

Parsing files for PHP unnecessarily is a waste of a lot of resources.

No, even set up as a module all of the above has to be done. And the
only thing done with SSI is to load the module. It doesn't set up a
special environment, parse a url, or any of the rest of that.

Completely off-topic and unrelated to this discussion.

As I said - there are much more efficient ways to get the same result.

I would say Apache and PHP have been around long enough to know what
is efficient and what is inefficient. They don't tell you "don't do
that" because they could care less how inefficiently you wish to run
your server. They could probably come up with thousands of things
"not to do", but why would they "waste their resources" with that?
Instead, they tell you the most efficient way, "what to do".

>There are, I already gave some. One reason was to have proper URLs
without a .php suffix. Of course there are other ways to do that, but
passing all pages through PHP is one way to achieve that goal and is
quite easy to setup. This _is_ a reason.
No, you haven't given any good reasons for parsing all files as PHP.
What you have done is given the most inefficient way possible to achieve
that goal.
That's your opinion.

No, it's a fact.
A sacrifice of ease over efficiency is perfectly acceptable on a test
machine, that way when you push it to production, you know how slowly
it "won't" run. So yea, I guess that _is_ a reason...not valid.
>
Oh, but there are - a huge number of other things going on even before
the parser gets involved - like loading the parser in that process or
thread, setting up the PHP environment, parsing the URL, and so on.
Some of them can be avoided if PHP is installed as a module, some other
work is required for SSI as well.

No, even set up as a module all of the above has to be done. And the
only thing done with SSI is to load the module. It doesn't set up a
special environment, parse a url, or any of the rest of that.
Parsing files for PHP unnecessarily is a waste of a lot of resources.
So are images in a DB, but we're moving in circles. I don't want to
waste any more of my own resources with that. You have your opinion,
I have mine. As usual.

Completely off-topic and unrelated to this discussion.
You got it, Jerry. Though I know little about the PHP interpreter, I
know completely that passing every page through the interpreter is
inefficient. How do I know that? It's pretty black and white
really. Have the web server set up to load the SSI module, or, as you
said, have php load up, parse the url, interpret the page and send to
web server...hmm...sounds like a simpler step to me. No brainer.

Images in a database have multiple purposes...not simply retrieval.
To store images in a db for simple retrieval *would* be a waste of
resources. However, since it there can also be a procedure to
manipulate that image, store information along *with* that image, AND
to shrink the SIZE of that image; I'd say it doesn't compare nor
relate to this conversation.
>
As I said - there are much more efficient ways to get the same result.
But you ignore that.
EOD for me

Just my two cents, here, gentlemen. I just can't stand to see
somebody defend a topic they seem to know very little or nothing
about...just enough to get themselves into a tight situation and then
bail when they fail to "win" the debate. So good job, Jerry, master
of the ring. Let me know when you get into another _heated_
debate...I'd love to spectate! :)

In the DB?

Can also be done with the image data stored on disk.

Hardly.
