How to make PHP3 files work on Apache server

[Dalixam]

I've gotten this job of managing an old website, but the problem is that all files end with *.php3 and not just *.php. When I try to view a php3 file on my localhost it just writes all the php code as text in the browser. (I'm running Apache server and PHP 4.2.7).

How can I make it parse php3 files as well as php files. I read somewhere about adding a module to the Apache server, but I didn't get alot of it.

Any help is appreciated.

Try this in an .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

Go to the httpd.conf file in your apache configuration directory.

1. Find the line that starts with AddType application/x-httpd-php. Add .php3 to the end.
2. Find the line that starts with DirectoryIndex. Add index.php3.

.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html
.
.
.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
.
.
