PHP won't run scripts

Actually it will run them, but only from files with a .php3 extension, and I need it to run scripts from regular .html and .shtml files on my RaQ2.

I know this is a newbie question - thanks in advance.

Chris,

Go to the "Tips" section of this (the PHP Builder) website.

On that page, scroll down the list until you come to "Setup and Installation"

You'll find a link called ".htaccess to manage extensions/order"

Click on that and you'll get an explanation of what you need to do to accomodate the .html and .shtml files.

That is if you don't have access to the webserver's configuration file.
If you do, simply add "php" to the addtype line for "php3".

The addhandler line is described in the php manual

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

change to

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php .html .shtml

or for php4

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php .html .shtml

Note: I'm not sure how well the shtml will work as shtml is also used by apache itself....

Actually, I do have access to the server's configuration file - thanks!
