The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Can't embed PHP code to the HTML file

Asked by Jagadguru in PHP Installation, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Apache Web Server

Tags: Apache, PHP, HTML

Hello All,
I have set up LAMP on my notebook. The versions of the packages are as follows
-Ubuntu 8.04
-Apache2
-MySQL, Server version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4 (Ubuntu)
-PHP-5

With this set up I am unable to run html files with php code embedded in it. The example html file (example.html) looks like this

<head>
<title>Greeting Program in PHP</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
Programming courses always start with a program that says<BR>
<font color=red size=5>
<?php
print ("Hello World.") ;
?>
</font><P>
On this course, the message is embedded in a web page.<HR>
Demonstration page for PHP training - Well House Consultants Ltd
<a href=http://www.wellho.net/resources/H101.html>PHP Intro</a>
</body>

To be precise, only the "Hello World" does not get displayed on the browser. Based on fix provided by some forums, I did the following

1. I added the .html extension to the /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf file

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

</IfModule>

2. I created a file called .htaccess under /var/www/ directory and put

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

line to that.

Both these fixes which worked for some people didn't worked for me. I am not sure what's going wrong here? Can anyone please let me know the fix?

Thanks,
