What's the best way to integrate php scripts with Xara?
Can I get my server to parse all htm files as though they were php files?

Re: using php with Xara
On a linux host, HTML files using a PHP file extension will be processed by the PHP interpreter. Without PHP actually included, the HTML directives in the file will be processed just fine. If there are PHP includes or other commands, as long as the syntax is OK, the html portion is also processed fine.
Take care, Mike

You will need to add the extension '.php' to the page name Page and Layer Gallery >> Rename . You will need to leave at least one page as is '.htm' this can be a blank page(required by Xara)
You can then add PHP using placeholders to those pages

Re: using php with Xara
Ugh! First let me thank you for this info! (& gwpriester for directing me here!) Second..... NO thanks to Xara for not including this in their latest help file. It was a nightmare searching for "xara php" for hours via google and various xara forums with not one relevant result to this question! The help file only mentions you can name individual pages (duh) and only gives an example of index.htm or home.htm..... not one word about page extensions.
thank you, thank you, thank you again,

Re: using php with Xara
am new to talk graphics, and to web design. I have read extensively docs on the web and found easy to inject html and css to xara 365. Unfortunaltly i am stuck with the php code and do not seems to get the grasp of it.
Each time I am trying to rename the htm page into a php, when the site is published it revert to an htm. I have created a new folder with the php page that i copy/paste but it doesn't seems the right solution.
I have tried also to include some simple code in an html placeholder see below and publish, but not working either.
I would be grateful if one of the experienced user has a step by step solution to help me with. I will not be offended if i am explained like a 8 year old ! I have read most on the subject and may be I do something wrong, renaming a file seems easy.
Thank you for any assistance.

Re: using php with Xara
Have a look at http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...fter-html-code.
You only need include the PHP code from your offering:I also believe you have to change the page name to <page>.php.<?php
echo “hello world”;
?>
The last wrinkle I recall is every Xara site must have an index.htm or index.html page so index.php alone will not deliver.
Others who use PHP extensions may be able to correct me and help you better.
