linking to index.htm

[Christy]

Hello again...I am working on html page and planning to have it as the home page. I figured out that it wont be a problem. however, when a customer finishes a purchase he is directed to index.php. how can I direct the customer to index.htm instead.

Also,in general , is it possible to intergrate html pages into the cart.
Thank you for your help...you guys are great!

The OUTPUT DISPALY of ALL PHP files is ALWAYS HTML.....

Adding HTML is not that hard to a php page - insert into the code out side of the <?php ... ?> tags - or add your own break

ie:

$Somephpcode = somephpfuction($someothercode);
/* begin adding your HTML - after this line */ ?>
<b>This is My HTML code to be displayed!</b> I hope you like it. <br>
<?php // Add code above this line
#Contunuemorephpcode = #somotherphpcodeect;


ps:
/* this is a php inline comment code after or before will be processes */
// this is a line comment - only code before the slashes will be processed - the balance will be ignored....

PSS - I posted this - jpf

I think I wasnt clear.... I wasnt talking about adding html content to a php page....I wanted to know if an exclusively html page could be integrated with oscommerce...
Thanks

Absolutely. But you do need to use internal HTML to link to it. In the appropriate template file, outside of the <?....?> tags, use a normal link tag (i.e. <a href="http://www.spicerules.com">...</a>) and point to any HTML file. In fact, if you view the source of any osCommerce page, you could copy and paste it into a file and treat it as normal HTML. However, every time you changed a category or product or whatever, you would need to update the html file. That is, after all, why we use PHP in the first place.
