Your problem right now is that your views won't get parsed as PHP, unless you add an Apache directive in .htaccess or http.conf. The reason I see using .phtml instead of using .php or .html is that these files need to be interpreted by the PHP engine _while_ they're more like HTML than PHP. The choice of .phtml is based on the fact that this is an already registered extension for such a task. A second reason is somewhat semantics, you quickly have a visual clue there is HTML in that file.

I have written the following code in my controller's init() function and it is working fine. $viewRenderer = $this->_helper->getStaticHelper('viewRenderer'); $viewRenderer->setViewSuffix('html'); - Is the above code is OK, as per the best practice/approach? - Also, Is it safe to secure HTML pages (or any other) instead the default PHTML pages. I mean is it Ok if I use HTML pages instead of PHTML. Thanks once again ..
