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

PHP File Extensions

.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.

It’s funny how heardle turns me into a musical Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce the song from a single piano note. And yet I somehow mistake Adele for Taylor Swift. Every. Single. Time.
