"Phtml" ?

Thanks 2 both of you for the help.

You can set up an Apache web server to use just about any file extension to send to the PHP engine to parse. ( look at your Apache config file ) There is a line in there where you set the file extention you want the webserver to recognize as the kind of file you want it to send to the PHP engine to parse. In that line you tell it that lets say file extensions: php, php3 are the ones you want. So when you make a php file the webserver will read it and send it to the php engine to parse. Either there is some special php content management software or other special software that uses that exension you mentioned or the person wanted that file extension for any number of reasons.
