Having trouble with forcetype


Manipe

Recommended Posts

I'm having major trouble with a PHP script which is accessed through a forcetype definition in a .htaccess file in the same folder.
When I run the file through the forcetype file path, it gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in 'file' on line 246

But then when i change the contents of the file to a normal PHP file, it works fine and as expected, with no errors at all.
I have isolated the problem code, and have tried putting it in a function to bypass the error, but it still doesn't work.
Because it works as a PHP file, I believe that the problem lies in the apache side of things.

Can anyone help, or has anyone had a similar problem before.

All help is greatly appreciated.  ;)

Have you tried this? AddType application/x-httpd-php .myextension
'myextension' being whatever extension you are using

If that doesn't work, then it's a problem with your host (a problem I've had in the past). I believe it has something to do with the host not allowing you to override the extensions, or it could be a PHP safe mode protocol. If all comes to worse, you should switch your host.
