Php Include Stopped Working

[sub-deacon]

After at least a couple years with no changes to the script my PHP include stopped working, no errors just does't pull my menu file into my pages anymore. My site is www.stmichaelroc.org, except for the index.htm and the site map page all other pages have the include for navigation.

 

here is is my include script

 

<?php include('menu.php'); ?>

 

 

This is a copy of the script in menu.php

 

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

function go(){

if (document.selecter.select1.options[document.selecter.select1.selectedIndex].value != "none") {

location = document.selecter.select1.options[document.selecter.select1.selectedIndex].value

}

}

//-->

</script>

 

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

document.write('<form name="selecter"><select name="select1" size=1>');

document.write('<option value=none>Select your destination...');

document.write('<option value=none>--------------------');

document.write('<option value="index.htm">Home');

document.write('<option value="st_michael__menu.htm">Site Menu');

document.write('<option value="news.htm"> Cathedral News');

document.write('<option value="directions.htm">Directions and schedules');

document.write('<option value="events.htm">St. Michael Events');

document.write('<option value="what_is_orthodoxy.htm">What is Orthodox');

document.write('<option value="church_contacts.htm">Contact Information');

document.write('<option value="clergy.htm">Our Clergy');

document.write('<option value="hierarchs.htm">Our Hierarchs');

document.write('<option value="cultural.htm">Cultural Center');

document.write('<option value="links.htm">Web Links Page');

document.write('<option value="educational_pages.htm">Orthodox reference, and stories');

document.write('<option value="youth group.htm">Youth Pages');

document.write('</select>');

document.write('<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Go" onclick="go()">');

document.write('</form>');

//-->

</script>

 

 

I can paste the raw javascript from the file into my pages and it works, I just can't figure out why the include will not.

 

Also very important , even though I am pretty good at page design I am a novice at scripting especially PHP.

 

Thank you

Your pages are .htm files and not .php files. Did this ever work for you?

 

You need add the following to your .htaccess file for PHP includes to work in .htm and .html documents.

 

>AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

 

I see that you are using FrontPage. Every time you install or re-install the FrontPage extensions it modifies your .htaccess file and you will have to add this line back in to use PHP includes in those documents.

Thank you very much that was it. I dxcon't know how that got erased from my htpaccess file. Either way that did the trick.

 

Thank you again.

Glad I could help

I like to keep a copy of my .htaccess file on my computer as a backup and to edit.
