Hi Alex At the moment all my pages within my members site have .htm extensions. Can the "auto_prepend with php_include" change this to .php? Or does it only change .html extensions. Also in regards to the personalization of pages - such as greeting a client with their username etc using .shtml file - is there any other to do this? I am thinking my only option is "mod_rewrite with php_include", if I can't do "auto_prepend with php_include" and manually change all the htm files to php extensions. Not quite sure what to do or what is the best option is for me. Thanks Alex... Kind regards Mandy
re: mod rewrite... I'm curious about this as well. If I have an .html based site and wish to use mod rewrite, do I have to rename my .html to .php? Is there anything special I need to do with the files besides rename them? (These are very basic html files, ie. no scripting or anything fancy just tables, images and text) Thanks! Frank
No, you don't need to rename. mod_rewrite can protect any type of files without any additional actions. All you need to do is put .htaccess file to folder, and it becomes protected (if your hosting supports this type of protection at all!)
