RE: [PHP] Newbie Question: Converting PHP3 files to PHP4?

Just fiddle the configuration of the server so that it recognises .php3 files as if they were .php. In Apache, this means you find this line in the config: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php And add one just like it nearby: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 Also, fiddle the DirectoryIndex line: DirectoryIndex index.php3 To look like: DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 (this means a .php file which will be newer obviously will take precedence over a .php3 file) You should be right from there.
