Re: Newbie Question: Converting PHP3 files to PHP4?

Sorry to all who responded already.. I guess some further clarification is needed... opps :) I am NOT running the server. I am using a local ISP (excellent guy but not really accessible on this long weekend), so I have no control over what the server's configuration is (at least until tomorrow). I can certainly pass these notes along to my ISP to get him to do these changes you've suggested, but do I need to change my file extensions.. ie. professionaldevelopment.php3 to professionaldevelopment.php instead.. or am I missing something here. OR is there only a server fix and nothing that I can do at my end as far as code or file name changes?
