.txt files get parsed by php

[Cepe]

Hi,

how can I disable that .txt files get parsed by php?
On my old server (with Plesk 7.5) I had a .txt file which contained php code (including the opening <?php and closing tags ?>) with some example code for download.
Now, after upgrading to a new server with Plesk 8.3, this .txt file with example code gets parsed by php just like a regular .php file.

I have checked the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file (which I have not changed) and it only has
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php
written in it (among some other lines, but nothing with .txt).

Gladly awaiting any ideas,

Cepe.

check that .txt is not defined as application/x-httpd-php nowhere in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, vhost.conf for the domain or .htaccess in directory where affected *.txt files are.

Hi ib1984,
.txt is not defined anywhere as application/x-httpd-php.

But I have found out something new:
The file parsed by php was called "demosource.php.txt".
By renaming that file to "demosource.txt" it did not get parsed any more, like it should. It seems, that having ".php." in the file name is enough (demosource.php.txt.test.xyz also gets parsed by php, but demosource.phptxt does not).

Well, guess I'll just rename the file to .txt instead of .php.txt.

Yes, indeed, I had reproduced it on my server. Seems like some glitch in Apache and how it handles filetypes. Thank you anyway for bringing it out.

by the way you may just give these files .phps extension and enable .phps 'AddType' line in php.conf. It will show sources (even with syntax highlighting)
