What is this: phtml and .htaccess?

[kgun]

I downloaded code from a site with the following .htaccess code:

# For "YOURDOCROOT", substitute your document root. php_value include_path
# ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:YOURDOCROOT/run/Lib/php" php_value
# log_errors 1 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml DirectoryIndex index.phtml index.html

1. What is this?
2. File type phtml
3. index.phtml "Can't find a valid editior for this file extension" Dreamweaver message when I click the file.

1) It's just a way to setup files to be included by the app. It should read something like:

php_value include_path ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:YOURDOCROOT/run/Lib/php"
php_value log_errors 1
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml DirectoryIndex index.phtml index.html

Change YOURDOCROOT in the above, to the root directory of the site you are putting the app on

2) It's a less common name for .php files

3) You can go into windows and add .phtml as a filetype to be edited with dreamweaver, or just rename it to .php while editing, and rename after.

That was what l thought, comparabple to a good old DOS Bat file. Very nice feature. Will use that on my sites.

That was again what I expected, but would not continue on the project
