I downloaded a guestbook I wanna use for one of my sites, but its files are all .php3, and when I try to access them, they download through my browser, instead of running. Now I can't change them all to .php (i don't think) because then as they try to call each other (all the different files in this package) they will all get 404 type errors. I also don't wanna go through all the code and try to change all instances of .php3 to .php, then if i miss one its all messed up. Is there a way I can just make .php3's run as if they were .php?

BTW I'm running 10.2 Server.

you can try to configure your server to parse the .php3 extension with the php4 module. I don't know if Server lets you do that easily or not. I don't know if it will even work right. I think it depends on the code, but its soemthign to try

in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf there is a line that looks like this:

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

(I added the .html, so I could parse php within html files)you would want to add .php3 to the end of it

.php .html .php3

YOu could try that and see if anything breaks. If it does, then you'll need to install the php3 module. and add that type to the conf file. Maybe this is automated in Server. If so, that's cool.

For better help with that, ask in the Unix section of this board.

Thats probably what I should have done, but instead i used bbedit and changed the .php3 in every file, all at once, as I said I did not wanna do. I didn't realize BBedit was that powerfull. I changed the files themselves, which was that hardest part, and now everything runs sweet!!

BBedit is awesome. I agree 100%. I want to get the new version.

Sorry to be so slow on the answer, but that's a good solution. plus .php3 looks so outdated doesn't it?
