External PHP
Hey, i want to use that PHP script in my other thread inside a page, but i'm not sure how to execute it automatically, without it being a .php page. the reason is because i don't want my database names and passwords readily available to anyone who views the source. can i put it inside a element?
example:
<form method="post" path="/script.php">
</form>will that work? again, i am unable to test PHP at this time due to host switching. thanks alot

You mean the hidden counter? Try using SSI.

i looked up SSI, so something such as:
<!--#exec cgi="/php/counter.php" -->' would work?nike_guy_man posted this at 00:44 — 9th July 2003.

If it's a .php your db name/pw won't be in the source... PHP is a server-side language, and if you put that in there, if it works, nothing will show, not in the source nor in the look of the site
Or have I read you wrong?
If you have this:
<?php$password = \"password\";
echo \"something\";
?>
the page will show
somethingand the source will show
somethingRight?

well i checked it out...i inserted the code into my page (.html)...saved, uploaded, viewed source...and it was there. i know i can use the .php extension for the page, but i can't do that due to the situation i am in.
anyways, as long as that SSI works, i'm fine
