.php3 -> .php

[Gutty]

hello, i am currently running .php3 style forum atm and want to go to .php without losing any data at all, is this possible?

I just upgraded a hacked board and converted it from .php3 to .php for some friends. I downloaded their .php3 files, renamed them to .php and did a search and replace on all of them changing php3 to php. Then I downloaded the php version of 2.2.8 and used Beyond Compare to move the hacks over from the old files. I deleted their .php3 files, uploaded the 2.2.8 files, ran the upgrade scripts and then used the search and replace function for templates in the admin CP to replace all instances of php3 with php in modified templates. Everything works fine now.
