embedding php in htm page

[Rob144]

I have a php script that nicely pulls headlines from an rss feed. The problem is that the script only works on a page with a php extension. How can I get this script to work on a page with an htm extension?? Here's the script I'm using:

<?php
$xmlfile = fopen("http://r144.com/freelancejobsnews.rss", "r");
if(!$xmlfile)die("can't find the specified xml file");
$readfile = fread($xmlfile ,40000);
$searchfile = eregi("<item>(.*)</item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg);
$filechunks = explode("<item>", $arrayreg[0]);
$count = 11;
//Replace above line with this to show all headlines: $count = count($filechunks);
for($i=1 ; $i<=$count-1 ;$i++)
{
ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title);
ereg("<link>(.*)</link>",$filechunks[$i], $links);
echo "<br><li>";
echo "<a href ='$links[1]'\>$title[1]</a>";
echo "</li></br>";
}
?>

Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks, Rob

If I can't do it with php can someone tell me how to capture an rss feed on a page with an htm extension?

You can do it.

Either make an iframe with that source, or use the following code instead:

<?php 
$xmlfile = fopen("http://r144.com/freelancejobsnews.rss", "r"); 
if(!$xmlfile)die("can't find the specified xml file"); 
$readfile = fread($xmlfile ,40000); 
$searchfile = eregi("<item>(.*)</item>", $readfile ,$arrayreg); 
$filechunks = explode("<item>", $arrayreg[0]); 
$count = 11; 
//Replace above line with this to show all headlines: $count = count($filechunks); 
for($i=1 ; $i<=$count-1 ;$i++) 
{ 
ereg("<title>(.*)</title>",$filechunks[$i], $title); 
ereg("<link>(.*)</link>",$filechunks[$i], $links); 
echo "document.write(\"<br><li>\")"; 
echo "document.write(\"<a href ='$links[1]'\>" . addslashes($title[1]) . "</a>\");"; 
echo "document.write(\"</li></br>\")"; 
} 
?>

Then to embed it, add the following code to your main page:

<SCRIPT src="url.to/file.php"></SCRIPT>

The code you offered yielded a blank page. Does it need to be adjusted in some way?

The php file is located at

It is embedded at

I tried it with an iframe and it worked awesomely! Thanks Ucahg for the suggestion

If you are on an Apache server you can put the following in a .htaccess file so that .htm files will be parsed by the server:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

The problem with this is it will pass all .htm files whether they include PHP code or not
