joemama718 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 you could try asking in the customer service forum about .htaccess...i'm not sure what djbob has allowed...but what exactly do u need that for? theres probably other ways of doing it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Media LLC Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 in order to view a .httaccess file,i personally use an ftp program and use its feature "send a command to server" and type in -a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 All you do to put php in a page is name it page.php then put the php in the html document EX <html> <head> </head> <body> <?php switch (rand(1 4)) { case 1; echo"we strive to help you!"; break; case 2; echo "Please check out our hosting forum."; break; case 4; echo"We are now taking aplications."; break; } ?> I think that is right for the most part.

arunsonnet Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 but i want it to be a html document and make the server parse the php scripts in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 To use php I think that you have to make it a .php page, but I'm not sure about that. You can still put html in the .php page. Look up a good tut on php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsonnet Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 take a look at this thing, http://www.desilva.biz/php/phpinhtml.html this says dat it is possible,but it doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemama718 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 looking at my files again, it's really obvious that you CAN edit the .htaccess file...I use FileZilla, and after connecting to HelioHost I went to the folder public_html and the .htaccess file should be there...download it, edit it like that website says, and upload it again. i just checked using the cPanel, and you can't see it from there. i don't know about what RK Web Designs said, but I didn't do anything special except connect using an FTP client (such as FileZilla - google it, its free) i think you're checking through the cPanel, and it doesn't show up there. am i correct?

ShannenName Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 .htaccess is a hidden file by default, if your using helio click on file manager and select show hidden files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 .htaccess is a hidden file by default, if your using helio click on file manager and select show hidden files All files starting with a . are hidden files by default on Linux/Unix hosts. Also for .htaccess to work it needs to be permitted in Apache's configuration file. I don't really know why you would want to do what your doing though. All that site does is tell the webserver anything ending in .html or .htm is a PHP file and should be treated as a PHP file. You may aswell have used a .php file What is normally more useful is to do that with a JPEG extension then you can have PHP generate an image file and put it in web forums which add there restrictions via the filename. If your really clever you can use Apache's url rewriting module to do things like turning http://www.example.com/banner/12/img.jpg into http://www.example.com/banner/img.php?id=12 but it can do it for any number without coding them seperately. Very use for allowing users to create banners and have then able to specify things like colour and size at whim. There is of course a performance overhead from making Apache parse all HTML files as PHP, it needs to invoke the parse on each of them just for it to find they have no code in them, This can be avoided by putting all the HTML files that have PHP in them in a sub directory and moving the .htaccess file into that sub directory. Remember that a .htaccess file overides any .htaccess files closer to the root of the directory tree so repeat any other settings you had in .htaccess files.
