file name extensions

[Anon]

It's advisable to just use index.php instead of index.txt.

The whole point of having an extention is that you can see what kind of file you are dealing with.

Add a line to your Apache handlers like this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php txt

That'll cause txt files to be parsed by PHP. However, beware of this, because it will mean that ALL txt files get parsed, slowing down the amount of time it takes to serve them to a user.
