“.phtml” for *templates* is a quasi-standard *at least* since Zend Framework 
uses it.  IIRC, Eclipse PDT and Zend Studio assign files with “.phtml” 
suffix the PHP Editor plugin as default.  Using “.phtml” for anything other 
than templates is unwise.  The convention probably stems from “.shtml” for 
SSI.
