Server Side Scripting in Blogger (aka PHP, ASP etc in Blogger)
I wanted to try and add some php code to blogger, and when I added some php code to the template page, nothing seemed to happen....here is how you make it work:
It is actually very simple. It is a 2 step process.
Step 1: Set your blog file name in publishing option to index.php (the default is index.html). The fact that its a php file now allows you to integrate php code in the template that would be processed by the server. Here is an image of where you would do this:
Step 2: Add the php code to your template. Here is an image showing that.
The same steps will be followed for ASP pages or anyother server side scripting language - the difference being, the blog filename extension would have to correspond to the language (.asp for ASP).
The drawback is that this would only work on the index page, the rest of the pages (archives, post permanent link pages etc) are still generated as html pages.
