How can I use PHP with file types other than .php?

You can use PHP within other file types by defining a new Handler to the web server. For example to send all files that end in '.mytype' to the PHP engine add the following line to your .htaccess file.

AddHandler application/php mytype

You can specify multiple names on the same line by putting a space between them, for example:

AddHandler application/php mytype1 mytype2 mytype3

would send all files ending in '.mytype1', '.mytype2' or '.mytype3' to the PHP engine. You can now insert valid PHP code and the file will be processed by PHP.
