Oh. I think you misinterpreted my post. My .htaccess line is not about masking PHP4 as PHP5. It is about using .html filenames and processing as if they were .php (file extension) files, such as index.php Example: index.html is actually a PHP script ( <?php ... ) and is processed directly by PHP -- in my sample, by the PHP5 that is on the server. If it was PHP4 on the server, I'd use application/x-httpd-php4 or no number at all. http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/php-in-html-files.html -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
