Header as template, with php tags not working

Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2003 7:13 am

Why doesn't the php code work in a template html file?
(I use a modified version of the FiApple theme)
Here's the code that calls the template:

Code:

$tmpl_file = "themes/AI/header.html";
$thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
$thefile = addslashes($thefile);
$thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
eval($thefile);
print $r_file;

Can't I use <?php ?> code then?

actually, it's because the only file type that you can run php script in by default is .php or possibly .php3 if ur host has enabled it.

It requres mods to the apache setup to parse .html files through the PHP module too

ah.. thx
so would it help to let the templates be .php files?
