So they can use the advanced installation. I wouldn't want the average user, and every single new user, to have .php3 supported. It's ensuring this deprecated extension stays with us until the end of time, pretty much :) But these will be the users mainly interested in prewritten scripts, and they will rely on the extension already used by the programmer, i know that if i were to install some language that supposidly configures itself and a program like phpMyAdmin which uses .php3 just didn't work i would be somewhat discouraged from using the language (from a new user standpoint) perhaps the solution is to add support for .php3 until most programs switch over, but not document it, ie: exclude it from the installer but support it anyway, for the time being.

Perhaps this is a good indication that the widely used PHP prewritten script should be modified for PHP 4. - zak
