Hi there, I am working on an old website with SSI (server side includes) all over the place, there is too much work to change the names of all the files from *.shtml to *.php to be able to parse some PHP code.

The webserver has Apache2 on it (Redhat8.0), I was told that in earlier versions of Apache it was very easy to configure httpd.conf to parse PHP (or whatever) with any extensions you prefer...

I have been looking through both httpd.conf and php.ini on the server but I can't see where I can change this :/


Thanks in advance,

You can parse php with a .shtml extension by adjusting the following line in your httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml

Just add the ".shtml", then restart apache.

I tried this on my Apache 1.3.22:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .shtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

#
# For PHP/FI (PHP2), use:
#
<IfModule mod_php.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .shtml
</IfModule>

And restarted Apache and tried a document with <? phpinfo(); ?> and named as *.shtml but didn't work But, it works as *.phtml

Any ideas ?

Edited -

Just add the AddType line below <IfModule> information:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .shtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

#
# For PHP/FI (PHP2), use:
#
<IfModule mod_php.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .shtml
</IfModule>

### Add the line here

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .shtml

Now restart Apache.

I figured since I was using SSI that i would just call the php file.

<!--#include file="phpfile.php" -->
