.php defaults to 3 not 4

[Anon]

I had php3 installed previously on my server, and I recently installed php4.

when I have a file such as file.php, it only references php3 and not 4. To use php4 functions I have to use the extension .php4. Is there anyway to use php4 functions while only having the extension .php?

-t.

check your server for it's extentions and also check php.ini, for ex. I use ISS and I had to configure it especifically to say it responds to php and php4, but I only use a php4 program to proccess the info

Change your Server configuration, to have php4 handle php extensions.
For Apache, add (or update) those lines

8<------------------

AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4 .php

Action application/x-httpd-php4 "path_to_php4.exe"

------------------->8

Be sure to replace path_to_php4.exe with the real path to your php4 binary.

If your Webserver is not Apache, I can't help, sorry 🙁
