HTML template naming

[Jim T. Bowen]

Poor man's patch:

Use a httpd redirect to the PHP page...
(e.g., <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="1; url=template1.php">)

Subject: HTML template naming



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.
