RE: [PHP] files with html extension

Yes it works in Apache - try it! You could also read the Apache documentation on Content Negotiation. The following is a quote --------------------------------------------------------- Note on hyperlinks and naming conventions If you are using language negotiation you can choose between different naming conventions, because files can have more than one extension... <snip> Looking at the table above you will notice that it is always possible to use the name without any extensions in an hyperlink (e.g., foo). The advantage is that you can hide the actual type of a document rsp. file and can change it later, e.g., from html to shtml or cgi without changing any hyperlink references. --------------------------------------------------------- On how it resolves conflicts? Not documented, but a quick fiddle seems to indicate that it does the following: if (no_specific_type_requested()) { get list of possible files in ALPHABETICAL order if (file_is_recognised_mime_type()) return this file recognised mime types come from /etc/mime.types Regards Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Harshdeep S Jawanda [mailto:harsh@pspl.co.in] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 11:06 AM To: Jeff Armstrong Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] files with html extension Jeff Armstrong wrote: > This is exactly why http://www.w3.org recommend that you DONT > SPECIFY A FILE TYPE TYPE in your HREFs. But doth that actually work - how many web servers are able to handle this type of link correctly? Ummm... and what happens (or is supposed to happen) to resolve xxx.html and xxx.php? -- Regards, Harshdeep Singh Jawanda. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
