File Extensions (Cross Ref > Data Structures)

By Mike Prestwood

ASP Classic versus PHP: A side by side comparison between ASP Classic and PHP.

Tool Basics

Developer environment basics such as common file extensions, common keyboard shortcuts, etc.

File Extensions

[Other Languages]

Languages Focus

Common or primary file extensions used (not a complete list, just the basics).

ASP Classic: .ASP

.asp is the default extension for Active Server Pages (ASP) although some developers will change the default extension in an effort to add an additional security level. Although there is no clear standard for include files, using .INC is common but you must make sure that .INC files are not executed nor displayed.

PHP: .php

.php is the default extension for PHP although some developers will change the default extension in an effort to add an additional security level. If your code is tied to a particular version of PHP then some developers at the major PHP version number to the extension as in .php3, .php4, .php5, etc.

.phtml is also sometimes used especially for files that contain both HTML and Perl code.
