Apache rending php when filename is x.php.html

mastahnke · 01-21-2007, 01:31 AM

I am not sure if this is a bug, or if there is an easy fix, but I am having issues with Apache and PHP.

Here's the problem

I make a file named test1.php

Code:

<?php
  phpinfo();
?>

It spits out normal phpinfo stuff.

I rename that file to test1.php.html and point my browser to this new file.

It still renders as PHP. To me this is a bug. If the final extension is html it should render as text/html and not be passed to the PHP parser.

I am using FC6 if that helps at all. I don't remember seeing this problem on Ubuntu when I was doing something similar, though I am unsure how to force apache to only render based on last extension and not a pattern match.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a directive in the apache config where you can set what should be parsed as php. Rename file to test1.html; if it does the same thing, that certainly is what you should change. No apache server at hand to check.

I realize this. This is the code from /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf. I don't see anywhere that says a file named my.php.thing.html should be rendered as php. When I disable PHP all together, of course the behavior is as expected.

Code:

 PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

#
# Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
#
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

If I add this line, it parses html files. If I leave it out, it does not parse html files.

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Below the changes that I made to get PHP working:

Code:

LoadModule php4_module        libexec/apache/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

PS 1
I'm running an older version of apache (1.x) and PHP 4

I don't think my point is coming across.

test.php is rendered as php (as I would like).

test.php.html is also rendered as php. This is incorrect. This should be rendered only by the browser and not pre-parsed by Apache.

If I use the configuration listed above, I get only php renderings on both accounts.

If I remove the php module, then the html renders fine, but of course test.php doesn't render at all.

Your point WAS coming across, but maybe no longer:

test1.php works ok (parsed by apached; you see the phpinfo() screen)
test1.html works ok (not parsed by apache, you see the text of the page)
test1.php.html does not work (still parsed by apache; you see the phpinfo() screen)

Which one? The config that I posted or the one that you posted? Is that not what you wanted? What are accounts (in this context)?

/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf (without comments)

Code:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I still get the same issues.
