I'm trying to add a php chat feature to my website, however all the files are .php3 (I've previously only used .php)...for some reason my server seems to only want to recognize .php3 as being a text file and not a php file- any idea on how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Try adding this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php

to .htaccess

in your root directory

Thanks for the suggestion...not entirely sure that I did it right, but it didn't seem to do the trick :(

Try adding this to your .htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

I think that should work.

Ok, tried that and it gave me a different problem...when I went to load the chat page, it wanted to save the .php3 files for that page to my computer but then still read them as text files instead of executable files. Am I not adding the line correctly into my .htaccess file?

Hmm, try this line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

same problem...the files are showing up as text files on my FTP server as well

maybe you should chmod them to executables
