Yup!  Or use ".cfm", or ".txt" or ForceType *everything* regardless of file extension or the lack
thereof as PHP in .htaccess or httpd.conf or via an Apache Include directive or unless you run
SuPHP or run PHP as a CGI binary or ... how many ways are there to skin a cat?

And who really cares about file extensions?  I mean, besides the Windows OS, which apparently
doesn't give a rat's tuchis about trying to ID file types without them....

the browser/HTTP client.
