How enable HTML files to display php code


Cheap reseller Hosting


 When writing content for your site, you typically store them in either html or php files. The basic files, particularly on Linux servers like the ones used for our hosting accounts, are either generally either html (files ending in the extension .html or .htm) or php (files ending in the extension .php) files. HTML files are created with markup tags and these files are not processed or parsed by the server. Php files, on the other hand, are parsed and processed by the server before being displayed in html format to the client browser. Php is a programming style language used to create pages that are processed and served from the server. Php files can always read and display HTML code, but HTML does not automatically parse php code. To do so, you will need to make adjustments to your .htaccess file.  enable_Html_file copy 

 Enable HTML files to display php code

1) Log into your cPanel

2) Using the File Manager, navigate to the root folder for the domain you want to work with

3) Set the Show Hidden Files option as you will be working with the .htaccess file

4) If there is not one for the domain, you will need to create a new one

5) Edit the file by highlighting the file

6) Click on the Edit icon from the toolbar at the top of the page

5) This brings you to the cpanel file editor. You will want to insert the following line of code at the top of the .htaccess file.

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .php

6) Then, Click the Save Changes button in the upper right corner of the screen.

7) You are now able to place php code sections into your html files and have them display.

8) Look at the before and after shot to see how the code affects a page with php in it.

Redirect domain to subdirectory without changing URL

The simple way to redirect your primary domain to a sub folder without change the URL

Redirect_Domain

A)  Redirect and keep everything after the URL

Show all of the same content on one URL as you would another.

Example, if you just changed your domain to DomainB.com, but you still have plenty of visitors coming to DomainA.com, you would use this to show them all of the existing content that is located on the new domain, without the need to update both websites.

You would modify your .htaccess file for the domain that your users will go to, and insert these lines of code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/$1 [P]

If you are using the file manager in cPanel, be sure that you have the option to show hidden files selected.

What does the above redirect do?

Adding this line into your .htaccess file, you will be able to go to DomainA.com/YourPage and it will show the content from DomainB.com/YourPage

B) Redirect a domain to a specific url

If you want visitors to go to DomainA.com with a specific page in mind when doing so, you may use this code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DomainA.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://DomainB.com/PathToPageHere [P]

Example, you had an external blog such as one on blogspot.com or maybe a shopping cart on etsy.com that you want people to visit your domain without fully hosting the domain there. Now, visitors can access your site using your domain, but see the content of an external URL.

C)  Re-directing an IP address

The following code shows how this can be done in the .htaccess file.

# Redirect all IP address (replace the ## with the IP address numerals) to same http://domain_name.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^##\.##\.##\.##
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain_name.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Stipulations / Please read

Note: If using the first option, search engines such as Google or Bing will see multiple sites with the same content and can cause ranking drops in one, or both of the sites. From an SEO standpoint, your best option is to create 301 redirects instead.
