    Any new info?

    Well according to the Apache documentation, a server-side include is not going to work for you – an included file must exist in the same website as the file that called it.

    And I *did* say that the example I gave should work on IIS – it wasn’t meant to work on Apache.

    Your friends will need to find some other method of including your RSS feed on their pages. iframe is probably the best way overall, but if you want search engines to be able to see your links, you’re limited to having them use a CGI script. Sorry.

    Are you sure about using SSI? I can’t even get a file to include properly from a different domain name on the same server, let alone a completely separate site. Not that it’s important – I’m rewriting all my old HTML pages as PHP pages anyway.

    How can I use a CGI script to do this?

    How can I incorp a PHP code into a html page?

    Im bit confused with the javascript.

    JAVASCRIPT
    <script language=”JavaScript” src=”https://www.MYDOMAINNAME.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=MYDOMAINNAME/wp-rss.php&TEMPLATE=https://www.MYDOMAINNAME/sample-template.html&MAXITEMS=15″></script&gt;

    What do i put in the XMLFILE= and teh wp-rss.php&TEMPLATE to det everyhing to work correctley?

    All i want it the java code and nothing else, i dont want my whole pages to be php.

    ilovetheweb: you can’t. An html page is by definition static. You can’t make a plain html page do anything but display.

    In order to become dynamic, html pages must be saved with the extension .php. Then you’re off and running….

    gregcaulder: whyever not? The difference between html and php as a file extension is nothing more than the ability to “execute” other code in the case of a php page. Parsing the php files adds a tiny increment to load time – infintesimal for the most part.

    I’ve been using .php files for a couple of years. I’m not seeing anything detrimental.

    vkaryl: I dont think you understood what i was asking. I just want a java string to help display my RSS feed from my blog. Noting to do with PHP, noting to do with ASP, and noting to do with CGI. I am currentley doing what i want from a 3rd party to read my RSS feed and display it but i have little controll over it.

    Only to do with HTML and that is it.
