I did a little research to find any information on the phpm extension. I couldn't really find anything. The references to phpm that I did find is acronyms for phpm as PHP Manual. <br><br>The only thing I can think would be that they came up with this to differentiate normal php files from php class files. Maybe they set their server to run the php processor with the phpm file extension to do this.<br><br>Maybe they started this to parody the aspx? Who knows? I don't think it was intended for security. There is not a W3C precedence for it, or anything on PHP.net other than the acronym reference.<br><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><br>Mike Parks<br><br><br><br>>------- Original Message -------<br>><strong>From :</strong> ciapug-request@cialug.org[mailto:ciapug-request@cialug.org]<br>><strong>Sent :</strong> 1/25/2006 12:00:03 PM<br>><strong>To :</strong> ciapug@cialug.org<br>><strong>Cc :</strong> <br>><strong>Subject :</strong> RE: ciapug Digest, Vol 9, Issue 8<br>><br> >Send ciapug mailing list submissions to<br> ciapug@cialug.org<br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/ciapug<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> ciapug-request@cialug.org<br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br> ciapug-owner@cialug.org<br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than ""Re: Contents of ciapug digest...""<br><br><br>Today's Topics:<br><br> 1.

Maybe there is a page that only makes sense in the context of<br>being included in another file. I really don't know.<br><br>I had to stop reading the book because it got too complicated, but I've<br>started using a lot of the stuff from the first few chapters. I've picked<br>up some other books that cover the concepts (like factory) and I'll probably<br>go back and finish the book after I get a better understanding of the<br>underlying patterns and practices. It's a great book, although it does have<br>a significant number of errors. The errors usually make me look at the<br>examples in more depth and actually help me learn better, so I would not say<br>the errors are enough to stop me from recommending this book.<br><br>My favorite programming language is C# and ASP.NET 2.0, but most of the<br>stuff I'm learning is easily applicable to PHP. I write about 95% of my<br>code at work in PHP and the other 5% is C# (they give me a few projects<br>where I can choose the programming language, just to keep me happy).<br><br>Thank you for asking!<br><br>Carl<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: matthew@mesa.net.au [mailto:matthew@mesa.net.au] <br>Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:12 PM<br>To: carl@carl-olsen.com<br>Subject: Carl-Olsen.COM Email from matthew donnici<br><br>Date: 01/24/2006 23:47:42<br>First Name: matthew<br>Last Name: donnici<br>Address: 123<br>City: melbourne<br>State: IA<br>Country: AU<br>Zip Code: 1234<br>Phone: 1234<br>Email: matthew@mesa.net.au<br>Comments: Hi Carl, I am currently reading the Wrox PHP5 book and was<br>wondering if you found out why some classes had .phpm ? <br>read you post here <br>http://cialug.org/pipermail/ciapug/2005-August/001021.html<br><br>Cheers !<br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>ciapug mailing list<br>ciapug@cialug.org<br>http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/ciapug<br><br><br>End of ciapug Digest, Vol 9, Issue 8<br>************************************<br>
