Hi everyone, im including the script into my website, but im looking for a way to show a text ( in the main indx.htm page ) that shows the number of comments made into a post, ive tried the next code:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>

<?php
define('IN_SCRIPT',true);
require('settings.php');
$lines = file($settings['logfile']);
$total = count($lines);
echo $total;
?>

</body>
</html>

but that doesnt work if im using a .htm, only if i use .php

It's because you can't include PHP code in a HTML file (unless you set server to treat .htm files as PHP which I don't recommend). For PHP code to work the file extension needs to be .php.
