They are used for PHP2 files (PHP = "PHP: Hypertext preprocessor")
which is a very cool way to write web pages with embedded scripts,
database access, forms processing etc. No need for cgi scripts
anymore. PHP3 just came out; they use the file ending .php3. See
www.php.net. It's the free software world's answer to MS's Advanced
Server Pages. Runs on all servers, from IIS to netscape to apache.
