HTML files saved with a PHP extention

[sakeney]

Would one be considered to be an idiot, or possibly even insane, if he/she has files that have no PHP coding in them whatsoever, and contunued to save and upload them as .php extentions, anyway?

No, but perhaps they would be considered a newbie that does not understand that having pages with a PHP extension serves no purpose except to make the server work harder than it has to in looking for php code in the pages when there is none there...

There's no real harm, but no reason to have .php and not .htm.

Having a plain HTML file parsed for possible PHP content will introduce a bit of 'unnecessary' load.
