Execute php script within and html file

Hi!

I've ran myself into a little brain fart here!

I have this iddy bitty script

$data_file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/data/field_status.txt";
$fstat = file($data_file);
$count = count($fstat);

echo "<div id='field_status_containter'>\n";

for ($i = 0; $i <= $count-1; $i++) {
$field_status = explode('||',trim($fstat[$i]));
$field = $field_status[0];
$stat = $field_status[1];
if ($field_status[1] == "OPEN") {
$span_status = "field_status_open";
}
else
{ $span_status = "field_status_closed";}
$dt = $field_status[2];
echo " <span id='field_name'>$field</span><span id='$span_status'>$stat</span><span id='field_date'>$dt</span>\n";
}

echo "</div>\n";
?>

and I tried to call it the html file like such
<div id="field_status">
<div id="field_status_overlay">
<?php include 'scripts/field_status/fieldstatus.php'; ?>
</div>
</div>

When I view the source for that I see
<div id="field_status">
<div id="field_status_overlay">
<?php include 'scripts/field_status/fieldstatus.php'; ?>
</div>

</div>

The html page itself is in the document root. I have no problem with running php script and have php in other documents that execute from within html no problem. This guy wants to be a pain!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Any file with PHP code, that you want rendered, should have the .php extension. My guess is that your file still has the .html extension.

You could tell apache to treat .html files as php scripts.

Ya know .. this is what I get for doing this when I'm dog tired.

I look up at the address bar in the browser and I saw this -> file:///D:/FTSC2/index.html

DOH! Needless to say when I put in an actual server address everything was OK!

Sorry and thanks so much!
