PHP to HTML code conversion

[Kimimaru]

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry, but I didn't know where to put this topic. Anyway, I have this PHP code that I can use to put up my own server online/offline images, but unfortunately, my webhost doesn't allow me to insert my own PHP code, only HTML. I'm wondering if anyone can convert this code to HTML for me. Thanks in advance!

You can't convert PHP to HTML, if your host doesn't allow PHP then it must be rubbish.

Try saving it as a HTML document if you haven't already.

Get a new web host then.

[Kimimaru]

Would you guys be able to write the same type code in HTML for me please, in that case? It's supposed to check to see if it connect to a server's IP and port. If it can, it will display one image; if it can't, it'll display a different image.

[Drummerpete]

No. HTML doesn't work like that.

[Kimimaru]

Oh, okay. Thanks anyway!

Does that code work? If it does, I'm stealing it.

[Kimimaru]

I'm pretty sure it does, but you have to replace the links there or you'll be using my images.

cop/paste into notepad, save as namehere.php, upload and try it

you cant preview php documents locally as they are run server side… if you really want to see whats in it i recommend dreamweaver or something similar

PHP is pretty much just C++. It's run on the server to dynamically generate webpages.

HTML is simply markup.

Oh god, I'm laughing my ass off right now. Sorry, but the fact I click this topic out of pure rage and see Spike posting in it is just to perfect.

Anywho, like everyone said, PHP is a server-side coding language which helps dynamically create webpages and content. HTML (and the more widely used XHTML) are just mark-up coding languages which display static content via a web browser. You cannot convert one to the other as they just complement each other. If your server doesn't allow PHP of any kind, you need a new server as almost all, even free ones, offer PHP support.

You visit a webpage with .php extension
The server processes the PHP code and receives HTML output
The HTML output is sent to your browser like a regular .html or .htm webpage.

PHP is significantly different to HTML and Javascript and CSS etc because it is a server-side language - completely uneffected by the browser.
