Extensions other than .php

[DJ Craig]

I'm trying to create a .txt file on my server that will log the IP,
user agent, and referrer of people who access it, and send back
different contents based on the user agent. The file has to have the
..txt extension because there are already links to the file on other web
sites where I can't change the link URL. Is it possible to have PHP
interpret files with extensions other than .php?
It would also be useful for finding out when other sites refer to files
on my server instead of copying the file to their server.

It's a webserver configuration issue, not PHP. Which are you running?

For Apache2 server you should put

AddType application/x-httpd-php .txt

into your httpd.conf.

A better way would be to use Apache's mod_rewrite.

how come you don't stick with the conventional <.php> in
filenames?

I do stick with ".php". I just answered the original poster's question.
I have no idea why would one do a thing like that, but he asked the
question.

I'm using Linux. Heres that it says when I type uname -a:
Linux imhip11.aitcom. net 2.4.26 #2 SMP Fri Jul 9 18:41:20 EDT 2004 i686
unknown
I'm using Apache. Not sure what version. How do I find out?
