Time to find another 'serious' hosting company :-)
you may need to put this in the cgi file (if you are on a unix server)
#!/usr/bin/php <? include('/path_to_web/page.html'); . . ?>
change /usr/bin to whatever directory the cgi version of php is in if you can find out where they have hidden it.
Thanks for the response Tom. Unfortunately, that won't work either. A little background.... I'm using Dreamweaver and their template feature. for the site. I want to read some info out of a text file and format it into the web page. (the hosting company doesn't support any db either... I wish I COULD change companies, but...) So, if I use your idea, when the html file is included in my php script in /cgi, the images in the html file will be relative, not absolute (../images/***).
The only solution I can think of is to call the php script, have it extract the info I need and deposit it (with html-formatting) into a file, then have the html file include that file. Course, this will blow up if more than one person accesses the site at the same time.
Anybody with any other thoughts?
Thanks Dale
