new php file extension

[hp829]

does anyone know how i can get php to recognize a new file extension to be executed by php (say ".new")? Is this a web server specific problem or a configuration issue in php, or possibly both?

I've tried adding the extension to the mime type that's associated w/ php, but no luck.

Any Suggestions?

--thanks in advance

You'd register the new extension with the web server the same way that you registered .php with the web server originally. E.g., in Apache, you'd edit httpd.conf and include under

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

the line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .new

or you could have it on the same line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .new

You could also add those to your .htaccess file if you're allowed the appropriate permissions by your host.
