How do I execute .php3 files when I have PHP4 installed on my Linux server?

Posted by Vivek Gite [Last updated: March 31, 2006]

PHP4 do not have any problem to execute php3 files. The only problem is you need to force PHP4 to understand .php3 file extension as a php script.

Most modern Linux/BSD system comes with PHP4 (and now PHP5). They can execute PHP3 files without any problem.

Open you httpd.conf file and look for PHP4 configuration directive. Once located add following line to it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

Above line will make your server execute .php3 scripts as PHP scripts. Restart apahce to take effect.
