Newbie problem getting calendar in web page

Ian Cook · 05-26-2004, 08:26 PM

Hi,
At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot I am totally stumped.
Can anyone please help me

I am using escal version 5.4.

I can successfully run the demo.php file (see http://www.cityviewchurch.com.au/calendar/demo.php) but when I try to include the calendar in a web page the calendar does not show up.

The test web page can be found at http://www.cityviewchurch.com.au/calendar/iandemo.html

Both the HTML and the PHP scripts are in the same directory.

Any help to get me going would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards
Ian Cook

Your have this in an HTML file. Generally, servers only parse PHP if the file ends in .PHP. Can you change the extension and try again?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the quick reply.
Renaming the file to have PHP as the extension will work, but I want to include your fabulous calendar into an existing web page that has htm as the extension.

I was under the impression from the instructions.htm that came with your package, and after having a look at some of the other user sites (eg the cats adoption page) that I could do it.

The question is how??

Your server will need to parse HTML files like it does PHP. If it's possible to have your server do this, your web host should know. I would check with them as each server is set up differently and may have different ways to accomplish this.

Hi Brian,
Thank you. I renamed the the web page "calender.html" to "calendar.php", updated my links etc, and all is ok now.
