php files

[BrentDC]

Are there any apps that can handle downloaded php files on the palm (i.e. if I download a php file ota to my palm is there any program that can extract the files)

Most of the times, when you download something and you end up with a php file you just need to change its extension to the one of the file you intended to download and it works.

Both uniCMD & RescoExplorer will allow you to rename the ''download.php'' files that you end up with. Once renamed to xxx.prc or whatever format the original file was in - you can work with the file as normal.

BrentDC~ Most files come down in zip disguised as php. (esp. at 1Src). You need to rename them as was said earlier. You can unzip them with VersaMail if they are not too large. Check out this this thread:

Should work even without a TX. (not sure what device you have ??)

PHP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Php) originally stood for Personal Home Page in the phrase Personal Home Page Tools or PHP Tools. PHP is a programming language often used on Web servers to generate dynamic web pages. The PHP program runs on the Web server generating the content that is then downloaded to the desktop and then (assuming it is HTML) rendered in your browsers. Often entire web sites are effectly written in PHP. You will notice that many web pages have the extension .php. You will note that the current page has the .php extension, but also an extra parameter to the code 't=127099'. I would assume 127099 is the number of this thread.

Many sites that use PHP, will also use PHP as part of the download management code. Sometime, the browser makes a mistake and instead of pulling the filename from the MIME information included in the download transfer, it pull the filename form the link. Example: If one goes to one of the download pages on this board, and right clicks on the download button and selects 'Save Link As...', FireFox will give the default file name of 'download.php', the name from the link. If one instead just directly pressed the download button, the correct file name would be used. If one instead uses IE, it appears to start the download so that it can get the file name before displaying the save as dialog box.

Therefore, you do not actually have a PHP file. You have a file that somehow go renamed to something with a PHP extension.

Hi,
you can of course always "turn around" the hint do force Blazer to download php files.

However, this will only get you the output, not the php source code!

http://www.freeware-palm.com/download-lget-v1-4.html Is also a nice utility to download files. Highly recommended. As blazer is opening the link (as slow as itis, it shan't be a problem.) click the link area and bring up daMemoPad. this copies the link to a memo record which can then be pasted into lGet. Its faster and more reliable IMHo

Thanks for all your help. I knew joining 1src was a good idea.
