Is it possible to include a php insert on all my pages for say a footer if I originally wrote the pages in just html?

How about using a jQuery AJAX request to a php file to add whatever the php file does to the footer?

Haha!

 

Change the HTML extension to .php and you can include on that page. The included files can be .html files, but the page they are included on must be a .php.

Thanks. By changing to ext to php will the search engines still find the pages ok?

 

Isnt the jq method overkill?

Yes, but to redirect old URLs (which will help), put this in your htaccess:

 

RedirectMatch 301 ^(.+)\.html$ $1.php

Let me know if that doesn't work, untested...

Glad you realised.

Cheers Andy much appreciated!

 

 

EDIT: Andy you were right about coda2 it rocks! Oh and I thought I'd have to get a another license for each machine I wanted to run it on but the serial number works on both my imac and laptop is that right?

Sorry I thought OP was to insert PHP into a HTML page....

 

Original reply was that this was impossible which isn't really true when you factor in jQuery....

Cheers Andy much appreciated!

No probs. The licensing is easier when bought from the Mac App store (since all apps bought there can be installed to all your Macs), but yes the license is valid for every Mac you own.
