In other words you could say that if youd like the HTML files to be parsed as PHP files you would need to change the mapping on the server,
eg. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .html the second line would tell apache to run html files as php files. You could also, to do some "sneaky" things do this : AddType application/x-httpd-php .png or AddType application/x-httpd-php .myDocumentType Url . http://www.mydomain.com/index.myDopcumentType This can usually also be done in the .htaccess file, you need some googling for this as I dont recall the syntax. The PHP and HTML extension are nothing more than a way of cataloging / seperating the files. -- -- Kim Steinhaug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Duncan Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Monday 05 April 2004 10:37, Enrico Comini wrote: > > I use php without problem, but my file is processed by php only if the > > extension is .php , why ? > > If I have for example a index.html with "<?php" at the beginning , this > > file is not parsed by php and I have to rename in index.php > > Thanks, Enrico > > Apache (and other webservers) have a config option that maps file extensions > to parsers (ie, .php to mod_php). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
