Save files as PHP files

Hi Everybody,

( using: Windows-10 and Web Designer Premium 19.0.1.65946 x64)

My understanding is that a Web-Hosting provider will require files be named as PHP files (index.php) in order to provide PHP services. I plan to include
several PHP and MySQL snippets throughout my project.

If this is true, I will need to modify how the Navigation Bars will direct the calls. The WDP-19 default seems to be set to name each an "htm" file.

Attachment 134362

The Navigation Bar Properties dialog box identifies the URL as Page: 1 (index) [Main] and then refers to index.htm throughout the entire project. The
same is true for each individual page throughout the website.
The only way that I can think of to correct this, would be a massive Search & Replace throughout the entire project.
(strict personal focus is not a strength)

Can I just change that WDP-19 default?
Can anyone advise me how to go forward?

Paul, what you do is change your index filename to index.php. [Utilities > Web Properties > Page > Page filename].
Do the same for all other PHP pages.
Finally, add a blank page called index as your first page.
Xara will also export a blank index.htm file along with all your PHP pages.

I believe I've used a contact.php file in the past and loaded it into a placeholder so the remainder of my site is still .html
I think you may need to make a second file contact-mobile.php for the variant.

Perhaps your host requires something different?
