I can't believe Windows servers don't allow the .html extension, they allow other four character extensions (.aspx? .phps?)

Well, that's not the case for IIS, anyway.

Oh, here:

Quote: File Name Extensions

UNIX files support file name extensions of any length. Traditionally, Windows supported file name extensions that were up to three letters only. This limitation is no longer enforced, and you can use any number of letters in file name extensions. For example, Windows uses the same basic extension as Apache for server-parsed files (.shtml files). However, Microsoft recommends that you match file name extensions between the two platforms. Windows places a greater significance on the file name extension, using it both to identify the file type and to determine whether the file is run in Internet Information Services (IIS).

Windows 2000 servers don't allow the .html extension.

I use .html, .phtml and .php with PHP

problem using .html for PHP pages is people contact you asking how you did it (especialy if it has a form), like my 404 page and if you notice the contact page on that same site is .phtml lol - confuse them

If you are on a 'nix based server, open up your .htaccess file. Here is some info on .htaccess. To get it to parse .htm files as php add this code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

Do you know where I can read about how to do this?

No, you can tell it either in the Apache httpd.conf file or an .htaccess file to parse a file with any extension that you want.

No... heh, I save them as .php unless I'm forced to deal with wacky people, then it's .phtml -- though I would consider it if my whole site was parsed and required .shtml or .php extentions, but why would that be a good thing?
