Is this correct? > No it will not work. You only get one server method for each file extension. I believe you will find that Apache always uses the first mime type it finds in the config files for an extension. I think the best way to handle it is to make .shtml go thru SSI, .php go thru php and .html go thru the normal apache process; then use the extension to control how a particular file is processed. That is how Apache is set up to work. Why fight it? The only unusual thing I ever do is make .html go thru SSI on some sites that use <#--include virtual="some_file.html"--> on every page. As far as hiding php code behind .html, I'm proud to show the world that my programs are PHP! Rasmus and others have assured me that search engines accept .php as well as they accept .html, and I've certainly seen no evidence that shows they are wrong. There is nothing you can do with SSI that cannot be duplicated within php. Since I started using php, I haven't used SSI for anything in new sites. In fact, I haven't used much .html either. Even simple pages have something in them that makes it desirable to keep it all php. One common example...
