Fortunately I found a way which I just posted. It was possible to pass
form variables through .shtml when the .shtml file was called from php
with virtual("the_file.shtml");


And as I posted, this is a bad solution. virtual() does not work with IIS servers.

Why are you so concerned with .shtml? There is nothing you can do in
.shtml that you can't do in PHP.

If I don't care about .shtml people who has built ther sites with .shtml
won't find phpoi useful.


And exactly how many are out there? Maybe zero? One? There are many more using IIS. You have now locked them out from using your module.

If they want to use your module, they will.

And there aren't that many people using just .shtml - most are using a
high level language such as PHP, Perl, VBScript, Flash, etc.

Yes, this is true. However the fact that people using flash and other
technologies won't find phpoi useful is something I can't do much about.

regards Henrik

And why not? Just because they use flash or something else in one part of the site means your project isn't useful in other parts of the site?

I think your priorities are not very real-world.
