Mime Types - Edit

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types represent the file types you can open with your web browser.Your own file extensions parsed as PHP or SHTML on your website helps you to avoid giving a potential hacker even the slightest clue as to what Scripting language is used.

You can specify the MIME type by setting the radio button to one of the following:

- Predefined and select one of the pre-defined MIME types from the drop-down menu;
- Custom to type the MIME type you need in the textbox.

To change PHP files' extensions on your website:

- Type the new extensions for PHP files in the "Website Extensions" textbox. You can type one or several arbitrary extensions here (like .myext, or .xyz), divided by spaces;
- Click the Update button to save changes.

You can select a handler from the Handler drop-down menu.

Note: You can assign either a MIME type, or a handler, or both to a file extension.
