½. shtml - ½ .php
Half of my site is .shtml pages. The other half are .php pages (due to my forum). It all works out fine, but I'm interested in using a specific php menu code that says to put "<? include ( "header.php" ); ?> " in my php code. That should still work fine with my forum but what about the rest of my site? Will it work to just use include virtual "header.php" within my .shtml pages? Will the .php script "run" or just print out all the code?
Thanks
P.S. If it matters at all, the code I want to add is here:

A conditional no. Apparently some versions of Apache (new) will allow this?

This thread goes on about this at length. In general, you can't combine languages. I would recommend you move your site to all php.

Well that sucks for me. I don't know how to write any php code at all, and I don't feel like rewriting my entire site anyway. Is there anyway to "wrap" my shtml pages into a php shell? Okay, now that I see that I realize how dumb that sounds.
So for interactive features, if it's an entire self-contained page I can use either Perl of php because it's still only one language per each page), but for smaller elements that would be added to main content shtml pages via SSI call (counters, polls, whatever), there's no way to include php from within shtml but I can include perl from within shtml? Hmmm. I got some decisions I gotta make.

yeah. I know it can be done (all sorts of complex server side stuff) but I don't think it's one easily, if at all for most hostly situations. All that executing seems to me to be a major security risk. It's bad enough with client side issues.
You can still call perl scripts within the page, I think -- like in an image -- src="script.pl" -- or something? I guess it depends on what you're doing.

You can include PHP using SSI within .shtml pages. (same syntax as including CGI files)
You cannot use SSI within PERL pages.

And it will execute any scripting?

Yes, thank you Mark! Does this mean that I can call
bothphp anf perl elements from within the same .shtml webpage? That would be great!!!Mark Hensler posted this at 16:18 — 18th May 2002.

Yes, just use seperate SSI calls.
