I’m hoping there’s a file I can stick into my file system that will tell the shared hosting that in my directory .html documents can run PHP scripts. Right now I have to rename them index.php and that’s going to really be a problem on my site. Does anyone know a way to change that setting?

yah you can try doing it in a .htacess file , you would prob have to put it in every folder that you want this to work
add this to an existing .htacess file or make up a text file, name it .htaccess, add the following:
DirectoryIndex index.html
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php
you may need this too………..
options execcgi
SetHandler cgi-script
hope this helps
Assuming your server supports it, you can use a server side include to call a php script. An example where we’ve done this may be seen at projectenlightenment.wcpss.net/index.htm… It dynamcially renders Upcoming Events in the .html page.
If you don’t want to rename your pages and only have a few pages requiring dynamic content, this approach may work for you. Otherwise, you will most likely need to go the .htaccess route.

PHP only runs in file.php only. If you want to use PHP coding the extension should be (file.php). Alternatively you can use JavaScript. I am not a big fan of JavaScript… it’s pretty much dead technology. If like me you are not, then the only choice you have is to rename the files to have a .php extension
[apologies to the JavaScript fans... i just can't hold my tongue. Have to tell it like it is]
Good luck
you will have to update your .HTACCESS document or make one that is appropriate http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htacc…
