It's a personal preference. I hate "html" extensions and think they're ugly. I would use it only if it was a page that could survive outside of an include, which none should since includes should never contain html, head and body tags. :) I call it <b>inc</b> because it's an <b>inc</b>lude. Again, it would work the same regardless of what you called it. Just depends on how you want to organize your site. I'm sure the answer didn't need to be this long. :) Kristine,

And then, having said that, I used to be able to use .phtml for my php pages on my first host, and I was such a snob because I liked how that extention looked so much more than .php. When they switched my settings and could no longer use .phtml, I was so annoyed. So I definitely understand extention-snobbery LOLOL!!!

I have this script running on my site now, actually. Catherine - Using my modified version (see my comment just above this on 10/23) - it would display nothing.
