Enabling PHP on your server

By Merv on Dec 31, 2009

Hosting providers have different requirements to enable PHP on the servers you use. Our experience is:

GoDaddy: Requires all Web pages containg PHP code have the .php file type.

icdSoft: Enable PHP by creating an .htaccess file in the root directory and adding the following code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .html .htm
We can continue using .html as the file type and when PHP is embedded using
<?php
... my php code ...
?>
the server interprets it appropriately.

If in doubt, save yourself some time. Look for enabling PHP in the server support help pages or contact your hosting provider support staff.
