Are there alternative extension options with .php?

[Matt MC]

Are there any alternatives to the .php file extension that will call
it, such as page.xyz? ....or does that need to be setup at the server
administration level, or is this not possible at all?

you need to set it up on the server... ie: if you are using Apache, you can
specify ".xyz" to be parsed by PHP in "httpd.conf " ... not sure how to do
it on IIS.

This network is running Apache. If I am a customer, is this is
something the owner of the network would have to implement -- nothing I
could do on my own - right?

This network is running Apache. If I am a customer, is this is
something the owner of the network would have to broadly implement --
nothing I could do for my space only?

Depending on what restrictions the host has in place you may be able to
implement this via an .htaccess file.

From my other post, you'd add this to an .htaccess file in your
website's root directory:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .xyz

if you dont have access to you http.conf then you can simply create
your .php files as normal, but modify your .htaccess file to tell the
server to treat these requests (with a different .ext) as actuall .php
files using the mod rewrite

sofor example, when you go to www.example.com/mypage.scrunt the mod
rewrite rule in your htaccess file would point the the file

https://www.example.com/mypage.php

not sure the exact syntax OTTOMH but look up
