Thanks for the response, Jay -

Some trial and error led me to do just this, which works fine.

The reason why I'm doing this, is because I'm trying to get someone to
convert from using PHP embedded inside HTML pages, to making straight
PHP pages ending with .php, so that only PHP will snag those. For right
now I'm satisfied with a resource sacrafice to make this transition work.

Thanks again
