DancingBunnyUSA Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I have someone that wants me ot take over updating his website. Needless to say I just discovered (after downloading his site into my dreamweaver prog) that it's all PHP. I know NOTHING about php. Is there a way to convert to html? Here is the link to the site: http://www.linedancersspringbreak.com/ DancingBunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) PHP is basically HTML. It means that PHP code written as html is processed by a server before downloading, so the source code that I can see now is all HTML (plus javascript which you can see inside script tags). So if I save the source code as a page.html I have a html file. It would matter if the PHP was being used to process a form to email or a database or do something dynamic, but if not, you can save as a html file from the online version (not the code you may have been given on a cd). Note: the contact page has got a form processed with PHP but the form itself is HTML so if you get the php file sendit.php and don't touch it, you should be OK. (Check if it sends to email or to a dtabase). Edited August 13, 2009 by Wickham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingBunnyUSA Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thank you. I managed to save couple pages as html. BUT this page I can't seem to save as html: http://www.linedancersspringbreak.com/our-line-dance-instructors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 There is no need to save them as HTML - if the original designer used any PHP features (includes for example - (we would not be able to see that online)), then saving the files as HTML will stop the PHP from working. And what do you mean you can't save it as Html - why? what happens (or doesn't happen)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingBunnyUSA Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 It downlaods as mht and I can't edit whatever needs to be edited. I need to change the dates and few other things as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lm Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 You will need to open .php files self, edit them and upload back to the server. It would be the only way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
