i want to include this code bit for my layout to show comments, and comment form, but i coded my layout and site in html and the php code bit wont show. this is what i have and it just shows up as text.

  <div id="blog_comments">
<%php
require('inc_rate.php');
getComments("1");
submitComments("1","$PHP_SELF");

Try using <? and ?>

The details of what those functions do would help.
You should also avoid:
1) Putting variables and integers in quotes without reason (it's bad practice, but shouldn't break anything).
2) Using $PHP_SELF instead of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

There's a few here according to a link you posted in a recent topic:

1) Didn't change the .html to a .php file. According to your website your files are .html from what I've seen.
2) Improper PHP syntax. PHP uses a <?php ?> or <? ?> syntax. <% %> is Microsoft's .ASP syntax.

Simply save your .html page under the .php file extension, change the syntax, and upload your new page. If it still doesn't work you would want to re-check your PHP files (or check what PHP version you're running on) until it works.

I just want to clarify one thing. I don't know if i'm misreading your or what, but <% %> does work with php (as an option).

4. <% echo 'You may optionally use ASP-style tags'; %>
...
ASP style tags (example four) are only available when they are enabled via the asp_tags php.ini configuration file directive.

The problem here is that he is using: <%php (which i see no claim about that being supported). Meaning one of two things.
1) Parse error.
2) Simply not loading the PHP parser.

Either way, it sounds as though he has tried fixing that problem...

I'm curious to know what the actual HTML output of his file is though. So i'm with coolaid now, can we see a link along with the rest of the code?
