PHP4 backward compatible with PHP3 files

[krausem]

Is PHP 4.1.1 backward compatible with .php3 files? I have the correct entries in my httpd.conf file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
Action application/x-httpd-php3 /php/php.exe
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#

And for PHP 4.x, use:

#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

.php files are working fine, but .php3 files just show the source as text. Do I have to rename all the .php3 files to .php or is there a way to have PHP4 work with .php3 files? Thanks.

if php3 isn't installed comment out the lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml

and add:

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

restart apache.

now php4 will parse .php3 & .phtml files

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
