What is HTMS file?

The file in the HTMS format belongs to the Web Files category. The author of this format is The PHP Group. Web Files consists of 303 similar files. PHP HTML Document is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.

How to open HTMS file?

An often recurring problem with PHP HTML Document is that HTMS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HTMS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HTMS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install PHP Engine

In this case, you should first verify that the PHP Engine application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PHP Engine into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HTMS with PHP Engine. Below you will find a list of applications that support HTMS files.

Programs to open HTMS file

Remember to download programs supporting HTMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of PHP Engine with HTMS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HTMS file still does not use the PHP Engine program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HTMS file with the PHP Engine program.

Step 3. Update PHP Engine to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PHP Engine program with the PHP HTML Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HTMS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to HTMS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HTMS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HTMS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HTMS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HTMS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HTMS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HTMS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HTMS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HTMS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
