How to modify the extension name of php files

In the daily development process, we will inevitably involve the conversion and modification of file formats. Among them, changing the extension of a php file to another extension is a common operation. So, how to change the extension name of php file? This article will introduce in detail several methods to modify the extension name of PHP files.

1. Use the renaming command that comes with the operating system

In the Windows operating system, we can right-click the php file to be modified and select "Rename" or "Rename" File" and other options, and then modify the file suffix name. In Linux or macOS systems, we can enter the directory where the file to be modified is located through the terminal and use the mv command to rename the file. The specific operations are as follows:

mv filename.php filename.newextension

Among them, filename.php is the name of the PHP file to be modified, filename.newextension is the new file name after modifying the PHP file, and newextension is the new extension name. It should be noted that if a newextension file with the same name already exists in the current directory, the original file will be overwritten.

2. Use command line commands to modify the extension

We can use command line commands to modify the extension of the php file. In Windows, open the cmd command line window, enter the directory where the php file to be modified is located, and run the following command:

ren filename.php filename.newextension

In Linux or macOS systems, enter the directory where the php file is located, and run the following command:

mv filename.php filename.newextension

In this way, you can change the extension of the php file to a new extension.

3. Use the editor to modify the extension

We can also use the editor to modify the extension of the php file. Open the editor, drag the php file to be modified into the editor interface, and then when saving the file, add a new extension after the file name in the save dialog box.

It should be noted that different editors under different operating systems have different operation methods. For specific operations, please refer to the help documentation or official website of the corresponding editor.

Summary

The above are several ways to modify the extension name of PHP files. Different operating systems and editors have different operating methods. You can choose the method that suits you according to your actual situation. No matter which method you use, it is recommended that you back up the original file before modifying it to avoid file loss due to misoperation. I hope this article can help you better handle the modification of file extensions.
