UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Put ubbtnews in an shtml page?

Hi, can you tell me if the ouptput from ubbtnews.php can only be included in another php file, rather than say as an SSI in a shtml file. I've been trying with the code below inserted into the shtml file with no luck (path and permissions are correct and I can access the output directly through http://...vle-cc/addons/ubbtnews.php)

CODE INSERTED INTO SHTML FILE

<!--#exec cgi="/vle-cc/addons/ubbtnews.php"-->

Thanks for any help.

Hi spiffy,

I'm not sure but did you see this post:

That would depend on your web server software. I doubt it will be compiled because the page extension of .shtml does not tell the server to run the .php code before being sent to the browser. This is what happens on IIS 4.0 when a .php page is included in an .asp page. Probably the same thing is happening on your server.

Now if you turn the page into frames, and have the .php page in its own frame, then it will compile.

In Apache .shtml are parsed by the server and it is no problem including any other file that the server can parse. You just have to use this SSI statement:
<!--#include virtual="anyfile.php"-->

If it is not supposed to be parsed (because it is a plain HTML file or something) include file can be used instead, which is a bit faster.
