We are using:
Apache v.1.3.37
PHP v.4.4.3
And Management v 0.0


Say that you asked on comp.lang.php and you were "told" you *had* to
upgrade to Apache 2.x *and* PHP 5.x to deal with this problem ...
(That should give the twerps the willies) ... Or they could just use
the php extension and whenever they felt like making a decision would
they let you know what it was.

Been fired much?

In 35 years of computing I have never regretted telling people that it
doesn't matter how much they dislike the facts : "2 plus 2 does not
equal 3" The more they huff and puff the more they /are afraid/ of your
knowledge. Don't work for those people - Full stop. Another thing you
should remember is that good programmers don't get promoted, they move
to a better job elsewhere. (Mediocre programmers get a job title 'team
leader' and crap programmers become managers.)

I don't see anything factual about the suggestion you made. Even with
those upgrades the original issue would still exist.

The only thing to tell them is that processing .htm files as anything
other than HTML files is simply not right.

They need to un-break their webserver.
