Okay, so I'm very new to website design, so please keep that in mind. I've been working on a website (with file extension .shtml), and the time has come to add php code to it. It's only a little code, but it doesn't work on the .shtml website; the php code ends up in the source code as a comment. I was wondering if there was a way to make php code work on an shtml website. Thanks.
Change the .shtml to .php update the include files you probably have and your on your way.
To keep your .shtml add this
AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtml
Keep in mind this will put additional load on your webserver as it will now scan all .shtml for php instead of just .php files
This can be added in the httpd.conf file
