I did a little research to find any information on the phpm extension. I couldn't really find anything. The references to phpm that I did find is acronyms for phpm as PHP Manual. 

The only thing I can think would be that they came up with this to differentiate normal php files from php class files. Maybe they set their server to run the php processor with the phpm file extension to do this.

Maybe they started this to parody the aspx? Who knows? I don't think it was intended for security. There is not a W3C precedence for it, or anything on PHP.net  other than the acronym reference.

Hi Matthew,

I can't remember, but I'm guessing it keeps people from navigating directly
to the file.  Maybe there is a page that only makes sense in the context of
being included in another file.  I really don't know.

I had to stop reading the book because it got too complicated, but I've
started using a lot of the stuff from the first few chapters.  I've picked
up some other books that cover the concepts (like factory) and I'll probably
go back and finish the book after I get a better understanding of the
underlying patterns and practices.  It's a great book, although it does have
a significant number of errors.  The errors usually make me look at the
examples in more depth and actually help me learn better, so I would not say
the errors are enough to stop me from recommending this book.

My favorite programming language is C# and ASP.NET 2.0, but most of the
stuff I'm learning is easily applicable to PHP.  I write about 95% of my
code at work in PHP and the other 5% is C# (they give me a few projects
where I can choose the programming language, just to keep me happy).

Thank you for asking!

Carl
