Re: php with .html extension in iis5

I don't know about the rest of the people in here, but i could need some more information. ..."migrating from a unix server" - To what? M$ or linux? If you use the ISAPI extension i suppose this is a M$ system (Windows 2000, 98, 95), correct? Secondly, by default i think that php only parses pages that have the extension .php even thou they may contain HTML, PHP or a combination of both. How did you do when you installed PHP? If you followed some guide / tutorial - could you give a link to it? ..."but a view source shows ascii gibberish" - Might be interesting to see a bit ot that output. It could give some clues. I have *no* experience on using the PHP ISAPI (running CGI myself) so i am afraid i can't help you with any installation tips. Are the files that work / don't work: Located in different directorys? Do they have different extensions? Do they contain the same <?PHP ?> start and end tags? abe wong wrote: > i tried to make .html files run php with limited success (i have to...i'm > migrating from a unix server with a ton of .html php files)... i set the > isapi application mapping (i'm running php as an isapi extension), and yet > i'm getting totally inconsistent results... sometimes, on rare occasion, it > works. most other times, the screen's blank, but a view source shows ascii > gibberish. the rest of the time, php doesn't work and the files are shown > without any processing. > > help would be greatly appreciated. > > thanks. > > -abe wong -- Michel Laine
