Installed with Fantastico, but PHP not working

I used Fantastico to install the poll. I created a new one using the admin page and it said to include a bit of php to embed the poll onto your page. Problem is, when I do that, it only shows the echo of the poll...not the poll itself.

Anyone know why it's not working? Thanks

The page you want to display the poll on has to use the .php extension and not .htm nor .html.

After posting I did some searching around on the forums and found that you can have it on a html or htm page if you mess around with the .htaccess file.

Now if I add the code to that file, will it make my html page into a php page? What exactly is that code doing?

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

Thanks

That line tells the server to send .html files to the PHP Processor the same as PHP files.

But it doesn't actually rename your html files to php files? Just tells them to process it like a php file?

no. That would break your links.

So can I add that line of code anywhere in the file? I see I've got a bunch of code already in it. Is it picky where it has to be?
