including PHP in SHTML - can it be done?

[kawnz]

Hi,

One of the sites I run, has been completely done in SHTML.
Now I want to add a function that will randomly display files in a section.

I was thinking of using a dbase with PHP to do that, but it would need to work within a <!-- #virtual include --> and I don't know if that will work.

yes? no?

Why not do that in SSI instead of PHP since the page is already getting parsed for ss includes?

euh, I don't know how

The dbase is run by a PHP script.

I want to include that dbase PHP script in the SHTML file, and want to know if it can be done.

Does that help?

Try it and see, like Dave said, it should run fine.

You could use SSI to include the output from the random PHP script?
Or as I said you could use SSI to randomly display the files, problem is, although SSI can actually connect to a database, few adventurers have gone this far. The random part is easy though.
