Request: Additional PHP Doc Types

[wonderness]

I request additional document types for built-in web server.

1) In Preferences >> Document Types >> PHP change the description to read "These settings are for determining file types, affect syntax highlighting and code writing features, and sending to the php pre-processor."
2) In the wonderful built-in web server, use this php document types list to enable the php pre-processor.

For my current work, I adopted the file naming convention described by Larry Ullman in his book "PHP 5 ADVANCED", a Visual Quickpro Guide. That is, use "*.inc.htm" to name a file which is a php include file which has both php and htm tags.

I used this extension ".inc.htm" for a simple table based htm form and using php variables. The preview using the built-in web server gave me only a simple htm interpretation. When I changed the extension on the file to ".php", the preview also showed the php interpretation. Nice, but not the desired extension.

Kind regards,

If you changed your file extension to '*.inc_htm' then you would be able to use this functionality.
Even Windows will get confused with .inc.htm files and treat them as .htm files. File extensions are usually the last part of a filename.

Karlis may be able to fulfil your request, but I'm just trying to suggest a workaround you might be able to use now.

I had a similar thought chris. this isn't really a webuilder issue - it's a windows issue. It would be nice though, for sure. Lemme go call bill...
