       <?php foreach($medias as $media):
        if (strpos($media->type, 'image') !== false) { ?>
          <article>
                <a href="mediapage.php?id=<?php echo $media->id; ?>">
                    <img src="<?php echo $media->image_path(); ?>" width="200" />
                </a>
            <hgroup>
                <h3><?php echo $media->caption; ?></h3>
            </hgroup>
            <p><?php echo $media->caption; ?></p>
          </article>
        <?php } else { ?>
        <article>
            <video controls>
                <source src="<?php echo $media->image_path(); ?>">
                Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
            </video>
            <hgroup>
                <h3><?php echo $media->caption; ?></h3>
            </hgroup>

MY code works fine as a php file. The problem is I need it to work when I retrieve it from mysql. The php code works fine on its own and when in between tags. My problem is the code inside an opening tag like the a href and the img src. How do I get the php to turn on and off inside these tags? Also the code won't call the object attribute, it turns off.

what the dom shows

You have to create an .htaccess file and add the following directive to it:

# allows HTML files to be interpretted as PHP files
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

The .htaccess file should be saved to your web root. This will allow PHP code in HTML files to be interpreted and processed properly.

  • I am using xammp to get everything working. I opened apache httpd.conf and added AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html. The php code runs properly if saved as .html. My problem is when I save the page to sql and retrieve it. The code does not run properly. This is what shows in the DOM – la1450 Oct 16 '15 at 21:53
  • Save the page to SQL? That would seem to be a completely different question. – Jay Blanchard Oct 16 '15 at 21:54
