Stuck with php parsing...Please Help

[Sandino]

Well im not going to argue with you, but as im sure you know 99% of people would do it how i said rather than letting html files parse php. Its just gonna confuse the guy later down the line.

And certainly in any kind of professional script it would be done how i said.

I'm not trying to argue with you. You're the one getting the attitude saying "oh you have to rename it html'.
that's bullshit, my method works 100% the same way. and probably useful to him since it seems he doesn't want to rename his file. and it's not confusing in anyway

there's nothing "unprofessional" about it.
