IIS, PHP and HTML
in [General]

From: Phillip Baker on 23 Jun 2010 18:26 Greetings All, I am at a new Gig. So this is the existing setup so changing it at least in the short term is not an option. We are in an IIS shop. We have a bunch of files that are html, and in need of php functionality. And that would be a BUNCH of files. I am interested in setting if I can set up IIS to use the php interpreter on HTML files. And then just start using the html files as php. There are just so many html files I would prefer to not do 301 redirects, not header redirects and blot the server with empty files (nearly empty). My preference is to use the existing files. Is there a way to make this happen? Are there any pitfalls in making this happen that I will need to be aware of? Blessed Be Phillip

Several things to note though. You can't control this on a site-by-site basis as far as I remember, so if you set this, it's for the whole server. Any plain html pages will be delivered more slowly. Second, PHP code isn't inserted into HTML, rather it's the other way around. This distinction is important when you are outputting content other than HTML from PHP code, or when you are using the header() function. Although IIS wouldn't be my server of choice, I think the one thing you may find lacking is Apaches .htaccess files. IIS can emulate most of the behaviour of this with plugins though, but I believe they tend to cost. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Set it via 'handler mappings' accordingly. I don't remember IIS 6 and older since it's been a couple of years I've dealt with IIS 6.

I've not used IIS for over a year now, and the version I used was very old (cheap company didn't see the need to update anything, ever!) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
