Re: PHP within .html files

It's not very usual for the simple reason that many people who have access to a PHP web server don't use it, they just use normal HTML. The problem with having HTML execute as PHP is that it uses the PHP module when it mightn't need to. On my webserver the extensions which are parsed as PHP are .php and .php3, I think this is the normal setup for web servers. Marc. P.s. Would u not like to show your support for PHP by displaying the .php extension?
