You don't even *have* to use a .php suffix, either. You could use .shit
if you wanted to. But you'd have to configure apache or whatever to
recognise that scripts whose names end in .shit have PHP in them, to be
interpreted please.

The only reason that .php typically works is because the default config
for apache contains the necessary configuration commands for having the
..php work as you'd expect. If you remove that, however, it won't
recognise *any* file as having PHP in it, to be interpreted please.

I use .phtml, personally.
