Thread: HTML as SHTML or possibly PHP

I've seen websites that have .html or .htm as the main file extension but still have server side includes on their pages. I was wondering how one goes about processing .html files as .shtml files or even .php files if that's possible.

Thanks.

Their are a couple of different options

The first Comprehensive guide to .htaccess- Enabling SSI Via htaccess is to add a handler to parse html as shtml.

The second which I think is more widely used .htaccess rewrite *.shtml to *.html - CodingForums.com is to use the rewrite engine to modify page extensions.

Both options require you to have access to, or be able to create, the ".htaccess" file on your server.

I hope this helps.

This is the method I've used for some time.

I HATE .shtml
