MP6767 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have a PHP script for my news page, which saves the value of a textarea to a text file, then another script on the shtml page displays the news using the php echo command. The script for saving the input works like a charm, but the echoing on the shtml page is a dud. I can't just switch the extension to .php because I have a javascript on the page that prompts the user for a password if they want to post news, which isn't supported on a php page. I tried editing the .htaccess file, and that didn't work, either. Sorry if this is hard to read, I posted this on about 0 sleep with a migraine.

Byron Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The .shtml extension is for SSI (Server Side Includes). Sorta like cgi/perl. html and javascript should work fine on a page with a .php extension. Just write the html and javascript like you normally would on a page with a .html extension except use the .php extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP6767 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 That's what I've been trying to do, but when I change it to .php, the JS doesn't work. I got a new password system, that works with .php, so I'm fine now. Oh, and sorry for the double-post. The forum didn't let me post the first topic, but apparently it did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
