The British Caving Association

Cookie, following our discussion I ran a brief test at localhost and it seems that I can achieve what I desire using a .htaccess file as follows

# Add .phtml as a file type because it does not already exist (on my localhost server)
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

# Add PHP handler for .html and .phtml
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .phtml

So... I'll try that on the BCA server (probably on the Hidden Earth site I guess) and if it works than a) I dont need to trouble you to alter the httpd.conf file and b) the BCRA web site will be much easier to port across.

Glad that works.

I've updated the DNS for Hidden-Earth.org.uk so the transfer is underway.
