How to open PHTML file?

The most common problem when using PHP Web Page is that a specific PHTML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PHTML, 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 PHTML 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 Apache Web Server

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apache Web Server is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache Web Server in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PHTML.

Programs to open PHTML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Apache Web Server with PHTML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PHTML file still does not use the Apache Web Server program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PHTML file with the Apache Web Server program.

Step 3. Update Apache Web Server to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Apache Web Server program with the PHP Web Page 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 PHTML file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PHTML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PHTML file. Sometimes virus-infected PHTML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PHTML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PHTML file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PHTML except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PHTML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PHTML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PHTML to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
