This would be a great solution, and I'm sure my concern is something that's been discussed many times on this list - I'm worried about the performance hit that the machine would take, if/when parsing a large number of files, in this manner. For small sites, I have no problem adding .html, .htm and friends to PHP's own AddType. But I'm not so sure for larger sites. I'll browse the archive for info and data, and weigh my options.
Last benchmarks I saw clocked in at 5 to 10% loss to run all .htm and html files through PHP. That was awhile ago, though. Test on a dev server with apache benchmark (ab) before and after and see. PHP doesn't really *DO* much until it hits '<?php' if you think about it. It just reads the file, uses something like strtok() to search for '<?php' and spits it back out. Richard -
Excellent; I'll be looking into that more. Thanks -dant
