Calling SSI into Html

Can someone tell me if this is the correct way to call this function to put into html.


<?php

require_once('path/to/SSI.php');

ssi_recentTopics();

?>

That is correct, but you have to either give the html page a .php extension or modify .htaccess.

You wouldn't want to modify .htaccess as if you did, you'd have to specify HTML as a server interpreted language. What you would want to do is create an HTML file and do the following:

Code Select

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title> << :: SMF SSI.php 1.1 RC2 :: >> </title>
	</head>
	<body style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
			<h1>SMF SSI.php Functions</h1>
			Current Version 1.1 RC2<br />
			<br />
			This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using SHTML include functions.<br />
			The examples the include tag, then the results of it. Examples are separated by horizontal rules.<br />

		<hr />

			<h3>Recent Topics Function: &lt;!--#include virtual="./SSI.php?ssi_function=recentTopics" --&gt;</h3>
			<!--#include virtual="./SSI.php?ssi_function=recentTopics" -->

		<hr />

So basically, use server side includes calling a function from the include line. Then, you just have to use the extension shtml instead of html and you're good to go.

Look to ssi_examples.shtml for more information & examples.

If you go the php route you have the option to modify the output. If you do go that way you have to add

Code Select


<?php require_once('path/to/SSI.php'); ?>

Right bebore the <html> and <!DOCTYPE> tags.

I just want to add recent topics to a html page, on my main site, that is all done in html. my forum is smf, but I wanted to add that.

Yeah I know but if you go with naming the file to .php you have to put the call to SSI.php before anything else.
