Hi,
I am new to this forum and PHP. This morning I started to learn php because, my servlet hosting account in godaddy.com is very slow, i mean, there is no provision for manual restart of tomact.
Well, I am off to a ok start. I am mostly referring http://www.w3schools.com/php/. I need to know few things about php developments. Can you please tell me how do i program a php website.
Should i use html files for output and .php files for server side code? or should i use .php file for both?
My main concern is, unlike servlets where i can hide my servlet name from public, i dont see any thing similar in php. Is there any ways i can hide my php files from being displayed over http request?
Thank you,
Newbie help

Re: Newbie help
You could use .htaccess to deny a HTTP(s) access to your PHP files or you could just move the files to not be in the document root (which I suggest).
