They work together, you just didn't notice it. :-)

In PHP3 the "standard" extension is .php3, so just rename your
files and it will work.

.phtml was the standard extension for PHP2.
If you still want to use that extension too, you can edit
your srm.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf/ and remove the comment
marker for it. You may also want to add index.phtml to your
DirectoryIndex section if you really want to use that extension.
Although you can't use PHP2 syntax without changes in PHP3,
so you have to go through all your .phtml files anyway.
