How can I get .php files parsed as PHP 4?



By default .php files are parsed as PHP 4 on 1&1 Servers.

However there are still a lot of .php3 scripts out there that don't work. What you
need to do is either create a new .htaccess file or edit an existing one.

1. Create or edit .htaccess file in your main directory to include the following line:

AddType x-mapp-php4 .php3

2. Upload or save the file. The changes are immediate.
This also solves the problem with phpMySQL asking for magic quotes to be turned on.
