If you're on a shared host, chances are there are more than one version of PHP installed, and sometimes you want a specific version for your website. For example, Laravel requires PHP >= 5.4. The following snippet should switch the PHP version for you.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php55 .php
Compatibility View in IE may affect how some websites are displayed. The following snippet should force IE to use the Edge Rendering Engine and disable the Compatibility View.
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
BrowserMatch MSIE is-msie
Header set X-UA-Compatible IE=edge env=is-msie
</IfModule>
Remember that for most rules you must have the RewriteEngine on rule in your .htaccess file!!!
Please remember to double check and verify any rules that you use. If you do not understand a rule please consult someone who does. Or if you are new, please take time to learn the basics of .htaccess. We accept no responsibility for your use of these rules - use them at your own risk. Please get in touch if you want us to add a rule!
