hi nice post, i enjoyed it

Should be noted that this fix will only work if your server is running php4 and php5. The htaccess simply tells Apache to use php5 instead of php5, fixing the “try” and “catch” tags that are part of php5. If your server isn’t running php5 at all, you’re still boned.

Sorry, that should have read:

Been a long day trying to get a decent fix for the php4 issue.

Thanks for this. I believe that I was definitely having the same issue, although I won’t be sure until the .htaccess cache is reset.

Which gets me to another stupid question, in the godaddy article referenced, they say that changing an existing .htaccess will take affect immediately. However if you delete and then create a new file, then you have to wait for the cache clear. This makes no sense to me, because the only way to change the file is by uploading a new file, and ftp is going to overwrite (aka delete) the old file everytime. There isn’t a way to edit this file in place on their filesystem is there? Unless maybe through one of their web utilities..? I haven’t checked that.

Thanks a lot. I fixed my problem with your advice

works as advertised! Also would like to point out that if you just want to parse and run PHP code in an .html or .htm file - you can just add a line like this:

AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .htm html

Thank you very much… for three days i was confused a lot… .htaccess changes help me much more..
Thanking you
