Hi Bob,

If you're using Apache, you can configure it to pass any kind of file you
like to the PHP server for parsing. I can't remember how to do it exactly,
but IIRC it's a matter of using AddFileType in httpd.conf. You can even name
all your files with a made up extension (.bob for example), and have the
server pass them all to PHP for processing.
