.PHP extension

[lynlimz]

Hi,

My host's settings only allows .php3 to be executed. If its .php, nothing runs.

Is there any command which I can enter into the .htaccess file to allow execution of .php scripts too?

Thanks for your Help

Yep place this in your .htaccess:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php
[/code]
and it should all work, you can use any extension you like - just change the .php to the one you want to use (You can have as many of these lines as you like in your .htaccess file)

The apache web site http://www.apache.org/httpd.htm in the documentation pages.

Try this; it's highly useful for anyone starting out with .htaccess:

Yeah sorry about that, I have never had any need to use anything other than the Apache manual for adding stuff to .htaccess, but then again I learn by experimentation and crossed-fingers.
