What are the implications of not using the .php extension for a file containing PHP code?

Not using the .php extension for a file containing PHP code can lead to security risks as the server may not recognize the file as containing PHP code and could potentially expose sensitive information. To solve this issue, always use the .php extension for PHP files to ensure that the server processes the code correctly.
