View Full Version : *.php3 visible only in text?

I recently put phpmychat on my server and linked my browser to the index.php3 path to go through with the install and it is only visible in text. If I rename it to .php isntead of .php3 it will show up as a visable page with pictures and the usual.
I do have php version 5.0.4-10 installed.

Would you guys know why this php3 extension would not be executing properly?

Thank you

You need to add the .php3 extension to the Apache (assuming you're using Apache) AddType line for the PHP parser. i.e

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

to change to

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3

Just as a little sidenote thing, I've noticed that AddHandler is more preffered by Apache becuase "application/x-httpd-php" is called in a thread safe method. This really doesn't have a big impact, but if you see Apache segfaulting, change it to AddHandler.
