make php interpret .jad-extention

michelledebeer

I would like to make php interpret .jad-extention. I have managed to do it with .wml, but I can't understand why it doesn't do the same with .jad.
All the PHP-code is still showing in the file as plain text.

.htaccess-file

MIME Types for WAP

For PHP 4.x, use this:

HERE IS JAD

AddType application/x-httpd-php .wml .jad

For PHP 3.x, use this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .wml

For normal WML pages.

AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml

For WML embedded graphics.

AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp

End MIME Types for WAP

AND HERE

AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor .jad
AddType application/java-archive .jar

Installer

Someone has to ask: did you restart the server?

Also, are you sure the php.ini file you're editing is the one the server uses?

Someone has to ask: did you restart the server?

Can't do that, since I have no control over the server or apache itself. My website in a shared hosting environment.
That is why I use .htaccess instead of editing the httpd.conf. Do I really have to restart the server for changes in the .htaccess-file to take place? If so, how can I get php to interpret files with the .wml-extention?
I have everything working on my home-server, but I edited the httpd.conf on that...

Also, are you sure the php.ini file you're editing is the one the server uses?

The php.ini file does nothing for this problem. It is an apache problem, since .htaccess-files are controlled by apache, right?

Sorry, I missed the line in your first post (".htaccess file"). I just glazed over it I guess, so nothing I said applies.

As far as I can see, what you have should work, -if- the server's httpd.conf file doesn't disable overides. Here's the comments about that from the file:

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:

Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

#
AllowOverride None

Hope this is a little more helpful.

Can the server's httpd.conf disable overrides of specific file-extentions? What I find strange is that .wml works, but not .jad...

Installer

Unless you know that .wml didn't work before, it could be that the server was already configured for it. I'd contact the provider to find out what you can do.

The problem still persist. I believe it is the providers fault...

I fixed it by using an ordinary .php file and sending this:
header("Content-type: text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor");

Downloads perfectly on the phone, but when I download it to my computer, I get "dljad.php" as filename. How do I specify the filename using a header?

Maybe running a phpinfo() would tell about what server and php settings you have now

🙂 Try this: 🙂

<?php
// this is my 'phpinfo.php' page

$datenow=date('Y-m-d H:i');
$string  = "<b>PHP Info<br>";
$string .= "<font color='red'>[url]http://[/url]";
$string .= $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$string .= "</font><br>";
$string .= "<font color='green'>$datenow</font></b><br>";

echo $string;
phpinfo();

?>

(using coloured PHP tags and have the word 'http://'
will corrupt PHP code in this forum
URL tags will be placed around 'http://' and 'target =_blank' will be added)
