Question

I’d like to change one text file on my server to be parsed by PHP – how do I do this?

Answer 1

I assume you already have the appropriate lines in Apache to enable PHP in general. To use PHP to parse a non .php ending file, you can use a ForceType directive in either an htaccess file or in the apache config. For example:

<Files ~ '^(file1.txt|anotherfile.txt)$'>
        ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

That expression is flexible and you can add additional files to match within the parentheses using another pipe character.
