Standard file extention of web pages are:
html - this is oldest of all. Used to be on Unix servers.
htm - this is second oldest. Used to be on Windows server.
But now both files runs on both Unix and Windows servers.
Both above are static web pages and when client requests
them through browser, server just show them as it is.
Other file extentions of web pages are:
shtml - These have SSI tags called 'Server Side Includes'.
php - Php is a server side scripting language gaining more and
more support by web developers and web masters.
asp - Called 'Active Server Pages' on Windows servers.
cgi or pl - CGI or Perl is a server side scripting language. These
scripts run inside cgi-bin of your web site.
Some times rare extentions can be see like .stm, .pt etc. The web server
needs to configure to work those extentions, which regular web masters
don't need such a complicated processes.
Here is a simple template of a php web page:
1. Just copy and paste it in a text file.
2. Adjust the code according to your need.
3. Upload it to your web site. Rename it index.php.
4. Upload header.inc, footer.inc and navbar.inc.
(Create them as text files and upload in ASCII mode. Rename them)
You can also use header.txt, footer.txt and navbar.txt, if you want.
