Php Above Html

How can I get php to execute above the HTML in a plugin with Framework Builder.

When I do something as simple as <?php echo('Hello World');?> before the HTML in a plugin and run the page it is included in, nothing happens.

Please advise, thanks.

make sure that the page you are using as a plugin is a full html page with <html> <head> and <body> tags in it, for example:

php:

<?php echo('Hello World');?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>



<body>sample Body text

</body>

</html>

the Plugin engine looks for the doctype tag and adds code before the doctype tag to the page it is plugged into before the doctype tag on that page.

it breaks the head and body sections of the page up and adds the code to the respective sections of the main page.

if those tags are missing, then the plugin engine has no way to know what sections the code belongs to.

Thanks for this info Jason.

Hey Jason, I am still not able to see the echo. Are there any other conditions that I should consider?

the code for the echo is wrong. you need quotes around the string to echo

php:

<?php echo(test); ?>

will cause an error.

it needs quotes:

php:

<?php echo("test"); ?>

Sorry about that, I was trying it on another page to see if it made a difference and type it wrong. That does not affect anything I'm still not seeing it.

normally code from above the doctype is not added to the main page.

normal the code above the HTML is used to generate the page body, then the page body is displayed.

why is it you want the code from above the HTML on the header page included?
