TUTORIAL 1

Q:

How does the server know to parse my web pages that contain
PHP code and how does it know which version to use?

A:

The server will look at the extension on the filename
to decide which PHP it will use or none at all.

 

.htm or .html  : These files will not be parsed. They are sent to the browser as is.
.shtml                :
 These files are parsed for Server Side Includes only.
.phtml         : These files are parsed through PHP2. This is the default
for interfacing with our mSQL 1.0.16 databases.
.php3         : These files are parsed through PHP3. This is the default
for interfacing with our MySQL 3.2.1 databases.
