Before I read about the .phps extension (which probably stands for php source), I used: ln -s mysource.php mysource.php.txt This makes clear that it's actually a .php file, but it should be shown as a regular .txt file. I think that the advantage of this method is that the number of new extensions that are needed stays more limited. Otherwise each script language (.pl, .py) needs it's own source code extension (.pls., .pys) and in fact the file isn't different, it just has to be handled differently. Perhaps it would be better if it had been coded in the protocol, so the http:// part. Perhaps it would also have been better when .html files would have been automatically generated from .php files. So if you ask for index.html or index.htm and there is an index.php file it would be executed by the server and it's output would be send instead. The output is namely really HTML code. It would then also be possible to look at the source code under it's actual name with the .php extension. (Of course only when the file would have the proper permissions.)
