Change words in HTML using PHP

  • Can it be done? Can you change a word that is in a HTML code (the page has .php on the end). For example with PHP you can make a language document where if you put hello world the language file will change it to world hello or add code around it. Can this be done with words in a html document with the .php extention?

  • From what I grasp of your post, YES IT CAN!

    However there is no *direct* way to do this. If you’re using WP and want to change words in your posts that would be childsplay. If you’re talking about a regular HTML file, we might have to play some tricks such as buffers or heredoc statements.
    A few more details would help solve this problem

    Thats sort of what I had in mind. For example:
    Page name: something.php
    where I have the word WordPress it changes it so that the acronym code is put around it.
    That the best way to say it really I think

    Where is the word coming from? Is it just typed into something.php or is it coming from an external source like a database?

    let some php guy explain this better.
    the simple funda is… wp sends the content of a post through a variable. you send that variable to a function which does all the text changes. if you can make ur nonwp page to send the content of the page to that function you are good to go.
