CS3 File extensions

[whatalotofrubbish]

My ISp requires that all files on the server that use php5 shall have a .php5 extension.
It may work on the server, but how do I get it to work on my developement machine?
At the moment if I use this extension off line, all I get when I press F12 is a text file displaying the code.

Your ISP requires that? You mean your host? I'd sure change hosts....

The thought had crossed my mind.
Having spoken to Adobe, they state that it should be possible to configure the program to work with these filenames. The host has over 10,000 database users on his system, so I assume that at least a few of them use CS3.

Requiring that file naming for your sites is indeed a loadofrubbish.

It is a load of rubbish, but not uncommon, even though PHP 4 has come to
the end of its life and PHP 5 is nearly four and a half years old.

Assuming Howard is using Apache, it's a question of editing httpd.conf.
You need to add this line:

application/x-httpd-php php5

Save httpd.conf and restart Apache. It should then serve .php5 files as PHP.

That is indeed the answer.
Thanks a lot David.
Now all works fine!

Ask them if you can change it yourself or check their FAQ if they have
one. A good host allows to use .htaccess files (assuming they're running
Apache servers) and to parse arbitrary files for PHP.
