PHP - Which Is Better: .php In An .html Page, Or .html In A .php Page?
I build almost all my pages in .html and then do my .php calls inside the .html code. A buddy of mine who's also a web developer told me that I'm doing it backwards, and I should be building .php pages and calling .html inside of them. I'm interested in knowing which of us is full of crap.
My argument is that it's insanely hard to write .html code inside a .php page. (For me, anyway). Half the time, the page just pops up completely blank, and I have yet to figure out what Magic Word I'm using on the 50% of the time that it actually works. Opinions? Thoughts? Insults? I'm open to all comments... Similar TutorialsThis topic has been moved to HTML Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=323045.0 The first part of this project was to pull a pdf file which was stored securely on the server into the browser for a user to look at it, but not long after the client asked if I could move the pdf down a bit and put a close button in.
Didnt think anytihng of it until I tried and it wasnt so easy, as the pdf always took over the full screen and I couldnt get it to recognise a div i placed on the page.
So have tried doing it the way below, which has sort of worked but I get a not as pdf error alert.
The user clicks a link to get the page below

I have a wordpress website that has a 'Wine List' page, in which it lists over 100 'custom posts' detailing each wine. I have tried out several plugins to convert the wine list into a PDF but none work in the way that I require. So now I'm thinking to just do it outside of wordpress and find a PHP script that may help me. I imagine it would be impossible to simply execute a script at the bottom of a page for it to convert whatever HTML has been generated into a PDF? Or is there anything that would allow me to specify what records from the database to add to the PDF? E.g. for me to type a PHP script with a MySQL command and for that to be converted into a PDF? Thanks if anybody has any ideas what action I should take! I am trying to get this to work in an html page. Code: [Select] <head> <?php require_once('fn.inc.php'); $out=output_rss_tag($ret); ?> </head> <head> <title> </title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- h1 {text-align:center; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; } p {text-indent:20px; } --> </style> </head> <body bgcolor = "#ffffcc" text = "#000000"> <h1>server status!<?php echo $ret[SONGTITLE]; ?></h1> </body> </html>I cant seem to figure out why its not diplaying the results Many thanks I'm having a problem on a PayPal payment completed page when clicking their "Return to Website" button. The button is configured to return to a static HTML (SHTML) page and I'm getting the following error: METHOD NOT ALLOWED The requested method GET is not allowed for the URL (my site's page URL) I'm assuming that this occurs because PayPal is sending some type of form as part of the redirect and of course, the HTML page chokes on trying to receive it. My question is, will simply changing the file extension of my page from ".shtml" to ".PHP" be a kosher solution? Would I need to assign the "_GET" variable to a local variable in the page, or will a PHP page just accept a passed form without requiring any variable assignments? I'm a bit stumped here and as usual I'm sure it's something simple. I have an object that checks if a user is an admin. It works fine. But it the HTML below it is not getting displayed. Take a look. welcome.php session_start(); $user = new users(); if (!isset($_SESSION['username'], $_SESSION['imadmin']) || $user->is_admin($_SESSION['username'])==0) { header('Location: index.php'); } welcome.php is getting displayed without getting redirected to the index. But there's no HTML, just the URL to welcome.php in the bar. Anyone?
