PHP is a script language and interpreter that is freely available and used primarily on Linux Web Servers. PHP, originally derived from Personal Home Page Tools, now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which the PHP FAQ describes as a "recursive acronym." PHP is an alternative to Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology. As with ASP, the PHP script is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML. Before the page is sent to a user that has requested it, the Web Server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations called for in the PHP script. An HTML page that includes a PHP script is typically given a file name suffix of ".php" ".php3," or ".phtml". Like ASP, PHP can be thought of as "dynamic HTML pages," since content will vary based on the results of interpreting the script. PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development as it can be embedded into HTML. Visit www.php.net for more information.  SignaturePeter McCallum Mackay Qld AUSTRALIA > I have downloaded files with suffix > .php > what sort of files are these? what appliction will open them? As stated before, php files are scripts, but sometimes when you download files the file name of the downloaded file is the name of the script used to download the file and not the name of the original actual file. What was it you were downloading and which browser were you using? >>I have downloaded files with suffix >>.php [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > used to download the file and not the name of the original actual file. > What was it you were downloading and which browser were you using? The 'file' utility may give you some clues as to what the file is. Open a terminal window, change to the directory containing the unknown file and type : file whatever.php > >>I have downloaded files with suffix > >>.php [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > file whatever.php Right. But where do I find the "file" utility? >>>>I have downloaded files with suffix >>>>.php [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Right. But where do I find the "file" utility? You don't need to 'find' it, it should be on the path, so when you start the terminal and type 'file whatever.php' , 'file' will get run. 'file' is not a GUI application, it is a command line tool. It happens to be in /usr/bin/file > > I have downloaded files with suffix > > .php [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > used to download the file and not the name of the original actual file. > What was it you were downloading and which browser were you using? using IE5 and d/lding something from the Civilization 3 page [a mod] > using IE5 and d/lding something from the Civilization 3 page [a mod] I'd guess that what's happening is the content type is set incorrectly at the server end. Try another browser (Firefox, Camino, Mozilla) if you have access to one or alternately mail the site admin. Cheers, Robert. Just drop it onto Stuffit Expander, if it is compressed or a disk image then Stuffit will decompress it or mount it. What browser are you using? I find Explorer does this a lot. Try Safari or Firefox.

Stuffit does not recognise it. suggests that teachtext might open it as it is not compressed. It won't > I have downloaded files with suffix > .php > what sort of files are these? what appliction will open them? open the file with IE or whatever browser you downloaded it with, It works sometimes when other stuff has failed Damian |
