Topic: extern php nothing showing up

hello
iam  trying to get extern.php to work on the index html page

I have tried all variations, full url etc and read throught the posts

to call it from the index page with <?php include("../forums/extern.php?action=active");?>

but nothing shows up

i can call it if i type into my browser http://www.lettertogod.net/letters/extern.php

and the page comes up

any ideas?

many thanks

Re: extern php nothing showing up

Is your inde.html a php file?
I mean, is your webserver configured to parse files with the ending .html as php?
Most servers are not.

So maybe you have to change the name from index.html to index.php

Which is why he uses ../ when including it wink
I think Tobi is probably right
