HTML samples should use php extension in action paramter inside a form

[w.olchawa]

My suggestion is to replace sampleposteddata.asp with sampleposteddata.php in action parameter inside the form. I think that the usage of asp extension is less useful for the users. I don't know what is the most common used server side however I think that PHP is more popular than ASP (more of the users use Appache rather than IIS for example). Of course a user could always use the php examples however I don't see why php extension couldn't be used in html samples as well.

It makes a lot of sense. PHP is definitely the most used language, related to the editor (we have done a research about it previously).

I've attached a patch proposal. The patch should throw an error when trying to modify sampleposteddata.asp from _samples/html catalog. (because of attempt to delete it). However it shouldn't be a problem when committing the patch.

Please, update the what's new file remarking that it's an important change from previous versions.

Now I think that instead of copying the sampleposteddata.php it would be better to change the action so it points to ../php/sampleposteddata.php

That way there's only one copy of that file and it's absolutely clear for anyone what to do if they are working with other languages.

Good point I will provide a new patch in a few minutes

I don't see any reason for keeping sampleposteddata.html as well. I have applied changes to the patch.
