What is AddType application/x-httpd-php-source
- by egor
I have the apache2.0, PHP5.2.4 and the directive in the httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .php6
AddType directive is used to maps the given filename extensions onto the specified content type. This is the only meaning of this directive.
But why does this method switch off PHP handler, that assigned .php extensions, and I can view source code of scripts in my browser?
And another:
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php
Why does this method switch on PHP handler? This simply must send header "Content-Type: application/x-httpd-php5" to my browser and this must be only meaning of directive AddType from mod_mime. I'm confused.
Thanks for your replies.
