php5 files to run php 5

ChicoMendez

hi,

i found a program that only runs on php 5.
my host says i can run php 5 if i rename the php files extensions to php5

as this is not a clean solution do anyone know if i can do any htaccess magic for the folder that holds the program so as it will recognise php files as php5.

TNX!!

mod_rewrite may work, but I don't know how to use it.

An alternative could be to rename all the files to .php5, and then hand-code a .php file for each page which redirects the person to the .php5 file (along with all of the POST and GET vars).

exactly my idea.... but do your reasearch on MIME files before you do anything...
