Re: [PHP] Couple of beginner questions

Looks like a great link, thank you.

But am I to understand that all I need to do is change the extention on a
file to php from html for all to be right with the world?

I've done a number of sites in html and am now venturing into php.

Can I create a page in html and insert php code that will work? (for
example, take an existing page and insert a date command)

Can I create a page with the php extension that contains only contains
html
and no php? If so are there advantages/disadvantages?

Can I mix and match file formats (php/html) in a single site?

Thanks for any input.

Gary

As for mixing html and php, the following was the most important thing I
learned about doing what you're trying to do:

I think the demo is well worth your time to go through.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
