How do I get apache to exlude php.txt files?

[CrackaLackaZe]

Anyone know how to get apache to leave php.txt files alone and just have them be plain viewable instead of executed?

Wait, so are these php files with ".txt" as their final ending? Or are they just plain text PHP files (i.e., they end with ".php").

they're text php files.

You didn't answer the question. What are the extensions on the files you're trying to have not processed? Better yet, post an exact example of a file name.

Find the line in your httpd.conf that specifies which files to processes as php and make sure the expression doesn't match your file.

www.apachewebserver.com/xxx.php is processed by php.

I want to make xxx.php source viewable by html browser, so I rename xxx.php to xxx.php.txt

problem: www.apachewebserver.com/xxx.php.txt still gets parsed by php

You're talking about the apachewebserver, I think you have an option in PHP of not parsing the file. Just give the file extension which you do not want parsed.

what's that command look like?

From my php.conf file (included into httpd.conf):

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
# AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I'd suggest adding the 2nd line to your httpd.conf (uncommented of course) if it's not already there. If you don't want to do that you can always just rename the file to xxx.php_txt or something else that won't qualify as php.

Heh, I just tried the phps option and it did a nice syntax highlighting!

Yep, it's a nice feature.
