.php => .php5

[yarnold]

Hi all

 

At the moment, my client's web host only supports PHP5 when using .php5 as the file extension.

 

For the moment I have worked around this by using .htaccess to rewrite .php to .php5.

 

However, this means that whenever I upload the site to the server, I must go through all of the files directly accessed and change the file extensions to .php5.

 

I was wondering if there is a line I could put into .htaccess to make apache "think" that .php extension files ARE .php5?

 

Cheers for any help

modrewrite (.)*\.php(.)*? $1.php5$2

Does that not do the same as what I have in my .htaccess file at the moment?

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([_a-zA-Z0-9]+).php $1.php5 [L]
</IfModule>

I don't think yours would redirect any pages with any url data after the .php

It does

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

 

You could put that in your .htaccess file.

 

(It uses the Module: mod_mime.c)

This is spot on for what you need as long as your host as the required module and allows you to change them. I advise you put this in your public_html file
