HTML template naming

[Thorsten Fischer]

Dear list,


I noticed that HTML templates in the WEB section have to be named with a .html
suffix. That means,

WEB
  TEMPLATE template.html
  [ ... stuff .. ]
END

will be accepted my mapserver, but

WEB
  TEMPLATE template.phtml
  [ ... stuff .. ]
END

will throw the following error:

Content-type: text/html returnHTML(): Web application error. Malformed template
name.

My question is: is this a desired behaviour? Some webservers are configured to
let php code be executed from .phtml and/or .php files only. What am I to do
if there is code that must be executed in my .phtml templates?

I did not check if the same restrictions apply to the header and footer
directives as well, but I guess that they use the same template name parsing.


Thorsten
