Well yeah. I fully agree. Keep it simple, don't put any more load on a server than you have to, don't run anything you don't have to, don't provide any opportunity for the system to become unstable or slow... if you don't have to. Going on the assumption that someone might have a requirement to use .html, I was wondering what the impact would be. I could see someone wanting to use .html to obscure the fact that they were using PHP scripts (for various reason), but if that's intended as a security measure, then it's classic security through obscurity, which will fool some people, but not the people you really have to worry about. -TG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
