[QUOTE="Heaplink, post: 227059, member: 8966"] A HTML file cannot be interpreted as PHP (unless you use mod_rewrite - but is a very unsecure and bad way to do). Do something like this instead: [PHP]<?php require_once 'simple_html_dom.php'; // Download here http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplehtmldom/files/simple_html_dom.php/download // It parses the HTML so we can get the div from the source easier thank using regular expression. /** * Gets number of online users * @return int The number of users online **/ function getOnlineUsers() { $url = "http://xenon.pw/?novote"; $html = file_get_html($url); $onlineUsers = $html->find('div[id="online"]'); return intval(strip_tags($ret[0])); }[/PHP] and in another file you can do this: [PHP]<?php require_once 'YOUR_FILE.php'; ?> <html> <head> <title>Better</title> </head> <body> There are <?=getOnlineUsers()?> users online, right now! </body> </html>[/PHP] A rule of thumb in PHP is require/include and validate at the top of the page if you're going to have markup with your php. Then mostly to condition checking and echoing in the markup as above [FONT=courier new]<?=?>[/FONT] is the same as [FONT=courier new]<?[/FONT] echo [FONT=courier new]?>[/FONT] Note: [FONT=courier new]<?[/FONT] and [FONT=courier new]<?=[/FONT] are short tags. These has to be enabled in php.ini in order for them to work (by default in PHP >=5.1 it is enabled - might also be in older versions of PHP.) [/QUOTE]
