I'm missing something and need a push in the right direction.
If I create a php file with the following content, and call it via a
browser, it works as expected.
<?php
echo "hello world";
?>
If I embed the same thing in a simple HTML file, I get nothing.
<html>
<body>
<?php>
echo "Hello world";
?>
</body>
</html>
I'm running
Mandrake 10.0
Apache 2
PHP 4
The php_mod is loaded for Apache.
I did the install for both Apache and PHP via Mandrakes built in rpm
management system.
TIA for any tips.

Unless you have configured Apache otherwise, the file must end in .php

Thanks, but what I posted was a type - in my actual code, the <?php line
is identical to yours.
What do you mean 'unless you have configured Apache otherwise...'? I
bet that's the problem but don't know what to configure.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Doug
Even with HTML intermingled amongst the PHP code, it's still a .php
file.
rename it whatever.php.
Of course you could tell apache to parse .html files as .php, but that
would be very bad advice.

Seems my confusion was thinking you could co-mingle php and html code in

like a charm!
Take care.

There's no point in feeding *all* pages to the PHP interpreter. The *.php
extension is the way to parse only pages that contain code.

Did you check your web server configuration?
In Apache on Linux, you might add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
This will allow you to include PHP in your HTML as
<HTML>
blah blah blah...
<?php
php stuff blah blah blah
?>
</HTML>
You may have to have
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html
added as well, but don't have the time to test. These turn on SSI's on
your pages, but I don't know if they affect embedded PHP or not. At
any rate I have both on my server and they work.

Right Roo, good point.
You could also do the Virtual host thang as well but I haven't tested, so I'm

Well, now you've got my curiousity...
Why is it a bad idea to intermingle PHP with HTML?
Wasn't that the intent of PHP in the first place?

I've read many opinions on this. It all seems to revolve around the
scope of the project you're working on. Medium to large projects tend
to bog down with the code that generates the site and the actual HTML
itself. My own project is now to the point that I need to refactor it
to strip out embedded HTML and use a templating system instead, just to
make it easier to understand and support and grow.
I'm now seeing the result of forgetting stuff I coded months ago and
having to refamiliarize myself with it when I go back and update it.
I'm leaning toward a OOP page display class with templates.
In any case, as an old procedure coder who first learned FORTRAN in the
early 1970's and never used C very much (automatic variables really
confused me initially), it's been interesting having to rethink this
project.
Now I see why the database weenies like using the database as a
repository for the datastructures and business logic (i.e. Oracle's
triggers or MySQL's stored procedures in the next release) and the
application does the data capture, validation, and presentation.

I don't believe it is, necessarily.
But by default the resultant file has to be named <something>.php
whether it contains just raw php or a mixture of php and html.

Actually this is not true. I have several HTML files with PHP
embedded. In fact they are not only with embedded PHP the PHP
statement is a PHP include, and I have SSI's as well... with the
..html suffix.
<HTML>
blah blah blah...
<?php include 'my-embedded-calendar.php' ?>
more HTML...
</HTML>
So what it really boils down to is in getting Apache to see .html
as something that can be interpreted as/with PHP. As a purist,
this might seem a violation and comingling of two different things,
but for me it is hybridization and the ability to component-ize
my sites for easier maintenance. Is it right for all web work?
Probably not appropriate in all situations, and may even create
problems with other add-ons like templates, etc. I view templates
as hybridization anyway, so for me the discussion is purely
academic. Template integration reduces portability, so if this is
the intent, don't do non-portable PHP/SSI/HTML/TEMPLATES/ETC.
In the final analysis, it works beautifully for my sites...
<HTML>
blah blah blah...
<!--include virtual="my-included-banner.html-->
<?php include 'my-embedded-calendar.php' ?>
more HTML...
</HTML>

It isn't.
But when you do so you should name the file *.php, so that the server
knows it has to parse the file through php.
Alternativly you could tell the server to parse every file through php
but *that* is not a good idea. If all of your pages contain php it
wouldn't make any difference but if this is not the case the server goes
through quite a bit of unnecessary overhead.
That might not matter on your personal server that is only used for
testing, but no provider is going to configure his server like that
because less overhead means they can put more customers on one server.
So if you want your pages to run on any provider's server without having
to change them you should go with the usual file naming.
In other words: If it contains php name it *.php.
Bye!

I consider it bad style to have both .html and .php appear in URLs.
On Apaches it's possible to parse some files with PHP and deliver others
directly, while keeping _all_ URLs consistent with the extension .html
(MultiViews).

Not really. I use either .html or no extension at all.
'.html' and other URI suffixes are redundant, contrary to
the principle of keeping URIs short and rememberable, and

There's at least one point: Unexperienced users might expect web
addresses to start with 'www.' and end on '.html'. Sure we know that
both are not really necessary ...
As a rule then it's best to
chop the wee nasties off.
That's what I will do in my next (testing) project, but for other
reasons. In short: With a URL like www.example.com/foo the server will
automatically decide according to the Accept header whether to send HTML
or XHTML back to the client. But I still want to be able to override the
content negotiation and force a particular content type if necessary, be
it for testing, for validation or simply for providing the same resource
in different formats (PDF for example). So to override the CN mechanismn
I would simply request /foo.html, /foo.xhtml or /foo.pdf if available.
That's just the very basic idea, I still have to think about some things
and implementation issues.

Fair enough. Although with the myriad different suffixes
out there today, '.php', '.asp', '.pl', '.cf' to name but a
few, I'm still unconvinced that surfers, inexperienced or
not, expect URIs to end in '.html'.
Also, I am seeing more and more URIs without suffixes on
television. Rightpondians can see the BBC's abbreviated
URIs, e.g. www.bbc.co.uk/weather -- that one's unfortunately
a redirection; hey, the beeb can't get it right all the
time, can they? If the big guns publish sensible URIs, the
practice will hopefully catch on soon.
