Re: Putting php code into html

HTML will not preprocess PHP Code, you will require a webhost, whos
enstead of just sending HTML code, it processes php on the webserver.
For example:

http://example.com/index.php

if the page is written in php, and was to echo Hello World, this is
what it would look like:

<?php

echo 'Hello World';

?>

The client would not see the code, instead they will find a single
line, consisting of 11 characters, including 1 space.

Hello World

Now, if that simple little experiment does not work, then perhaps the
application or your host does not provide addiquet services, including
the php preprocessor.

You can maintain a counter, simple by having a text document hold the
last known users accessing your page. To do this, the code should look
like this.

<?php

$visits = @file('visit_count.log');
$handle = fopen('visit_count.log', 'w');

if (is_null($visits)) {
fwrite($handle, '1');
}
else {
$visits = $visits++;
fwrite($handle, $visits);
}

echo 'You are the number ' . $visits . ' to come to this web page.
Congrads and have a happy existence.' . "\n";
?>
