PHP, write an HTML document?

Question

I have right now a .html document that I copy to new directories..

My question is : Is there a way to put text in the .html document between the <body> and </body> tags?

I'm sorry for this question, I mean with the short explaination, but I have searched everywhere.

Sure is, open the document, identify the body section, inject your changes, save the file. Where's your question? — Mike B, Dec 03 '13 at 12:50
Read the file, parse it with a DOM parser, add the data and then save the result. — Wayne Whitty, Dec 03 '13 at 12:51

It depends of your method: you can open the file and parse it byte by byte while reaching your tag or you can read it in a variable and use str_replace or... — Paolo Gibellini, Dec 03 '13 at 12:53
Parse some HTML file byte by byte o_O. We have DOM for a reason — PeeHaa, Dec 03 '13 at 13:00
@PeeHaa Yup! We have a DOM, but with such a question after having "searched everywhere"... — Paolo Gibellini, Dec 04 '13 at 09:07

On a web server running PHP, .PHP files are always processed through the PHP managed handler (decoder, sort of) and that INCLUDES a standard HTML processor. So, you can, without question, combine PHP and HTML in a single file. The key is proper placement of the scripted code and the HTML code.

An example of your "work" would be very useful here.

Do you know WHERE you want "This is Text" to appear on the rendered page (when viewing in the browser)? – DevlshOne Dec 03 '13 at 13:01

yes you can using PHP fopen() read method , append whatever text you want using file_put_contents() , then save file to your server :

Not if is an .html document. ...Well, yes, but it requires altering server settings and it's really bad practice.

If you change it to a .php file. Then yes it's possible.

You would have something like this:

<body>
<?php 
      echo 'Hello World <br />';

      /*$content is something you would have defined earlier on 
        (it doesn't have to be called '$content' though) */
      echo $content;

?>

</body>
