i want to include a external php file into html page using javascript?

Question

<?php
    header("Content-type: text/javascript");
    include("header.php");
?>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="header.php"></script>

</head>

I'm trying to include a PHP (header & footer) file in an HTML file.

The reason it needs to be HTML is this is a content provider that hosts the content and they've put a restriction on the number of characters that can be in the header (as they host it). Any ideas?

server has to be set to compile php for html extension. Can't see why any host would need to restrict head tag. That doesn't make any sense. Are you sure they mean head tag and not request header? — charlietfl

@AnulekhaThakur you want to include PHP in HTML? does not make sense. You most likely askng the wrong question — meda

You can not include php in a html page, as php generates html but html can not generate php. So you can try ajax method to include php instead on page load try calling a javascript function which will call the php file.

window.location.assign("header.php"); by this method you can add php file but only in php page..not with html.
