how to configure htaccess to be able to embed .php in HTML files

  • 772

I have a website in html, css and javascript (without libraries or framework) and I need to embed an external footer and header to make it easier to maintain. I found the following code that would solve it, but they clarify that, if it doesn't work, the .htaccess must be configured and I have no idea what it refers to...

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>

<head>
  <title>Titulo de pagina</title>
</head>

<body>
  <?php
include "header.html";
?>
    // Todo el contenido de la pagina... etc...
    <?php
include "footer.html";
?>
</body>

</html>
php

  1. For your code to work you must consider the following:

    the file extension

    The files you want to execute language logic like PHP ; then they must have extension .php; what I mean is:

    instead of having this:archivo.html

    you should have this:archivo.php

    The next thing is that you have to run these files from an apache or ngnix server; if you are starting and working on Windows; you have the first in packages like XAMPP that already include you: PHP, MySQL, Apache

    Under the assumed scenario above, you should save your project in the following path

    xampp/htdocs

    And inside HTDOCS you are going to paste your folder with your project; Once the above is done, you will search to open the xampp panel from Start in Windows and typing xampp panel

    You are going to run Apache and later in your browser you will do the following

    localhost/nombreCarpetaProyecto

    Where projectFolderName is the name of the folder where you stored your project

    Note

    You must consider that Apache by default will look for a file with the name index.phpto load its content in the browser, otherwise it will show you the list of files that you have stored, consider naming one as I say

    At least for what you mention you don't need to configure anything in the.htaccess

    If your question goes more to

    How to add PHP code to pages with extensions .htmlor.htm

    You must do the following:

    In the root of the project you create the file if it does not exist .htaccessand you must add the following line:

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

    It means that the extensions .htmlor .htmare PHP applications

    I leave the documentation about AddType
