Change .php to .htm ?

[ShaolinF]

Hi guys,

 

At the end of my page I want to use .htm instead of .php but then the .php scripts linked to the page won't work. Is there any way around this ?

 

Also, can you define your own types of ending ?

Yup there is a way. You can change the settings of your server to be able to parse php within html pages. That is what I remember reading once in a php book. - I'm not exactly sure. Why would you want to change php --> htm anyway?

@TheFilmGod - this may be hard to believe - but the link I posted explains.

It doesn't work. I keep getting an internal server error when I try to add the .htaccess file.

Check your sites error log. Your host may not allow for AddType within .htaccess files.

Now what ?

Here's a better solution I think.  The files can still be named .php but appear to the user as .htm.

 

Just open up your .htaccess file and add the following:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^filename.htm$ filename.php

 

Make entries of the RewriteRule on a per file basis on the ones you want to look like they are .htm files.

That didnt work either.

A better way to do it would be with:

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.htm$ $1.php

 

That would rewrite every .htm file.

 

Anyway, if you can't add a type or use mod rewrite, you're kinda screwed...

 

I'm assuming this is shared hosting?
