Html Extensions As Php Files

[Gadianton]

I've done this before but never with TCH. I want it so that all my .html files are treated as php files, without changing all the file extensions to .php

 

Has anyone ever done this through cpanel or with a .htaccess file using TCH? If so, please let me know...thanks!

Yes. I've done it successfully at TCH.

 

I used a mod rewrite command in .htaccess

[Gadianton]

Can you please give me the lines in your .htaccess file that do this?

 

Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention I've already tried:

 

AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .html

 

and it didn't work.

The force type rule indicated by Borfast in the other thread is the way I would do it.

 

I used a modrewrite rule instead only because the old hosting company I used to host with didn't allow force type.

 

I wrote something close to this:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^folder/(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/path/file.php

RewriteRule ^folder2/(.*) http://www.yoursite.com/path/file.php

 

This rewrite rule specifically forces server to parse an address like:

http://www.yoursite.com/path/folder/345/abcd

 

as

 

http://www.yoursite.com/path/folder.php

 

and then script in folder.php parses the url and pulls out variables using the explode() function. So in this case, var1=345 and var2=abcd

 

It may sound confusing, and it is, but there's plenty of info on the net.

 

Once again, if force type is available (and probably is at a host as awesome as TCH) then that's the way to go. Simple and clean.
