How to embed php code into index.html(homepage)? 2

[phphead]

Hi,

I'm new to this.

I have a php script, and try to use it as my index.html home page, but it doesn't work. I can load it, as home.php, directly into browser and it works, that means the code itself is OK.

Does anybody have idea to handle this? My goal is to retrieve data from MySql in my home page.

Thanks!

It depends on the configuration of your webserver if index.php is recognized the same way index.html would be.
rename home.php to index.php and try. If it doesn't work check the setup of your server.

Depending on what webserver is in use there are different options.

vbkris,

The problem to me is if the <index.html> has php code, it won't work correctly (no data retrieved from MySql).

I said if I saved it as <home.php> it worked because I typed its full path into the browser, and I think home page shouldn't work that way.

DRJ478 may right. I should look at my Apache config file, but I dont know how to change it. Do you guys have any ideas on that? My original idea is to retrieve data from Mysql into my Home Page.

Thanks alot!

Add [tt]index.php[/tt] to your [tt]DirectoryIndex[/tt] directive.

or you could set index.html to redirect to *.php

Hi all,

Add index.php to DirectoryIndex in the <httpd.conf> will work.

We can close this ticket.

Thanks all for your nice inputs!
