What is a PH file?

PH files mostly belong to PHYLIP. The PH file is mainly a phylogenetic tree data file used in evolutionary studies with the PHYLIP package. It holds tree structure information in a simple text-based layout and is processed by specialized software.
In some instances, a PH file may also be a game data file for Phantasmagoria; it can store Poser animation details that programs like Photoshop might use.

For evolutionary data, check for branch-like structures and species notations.

For game data, the file might include animation cues.

FilExt.com tip: You can visit the PHYLIP webpage for more details on the research format.

How can I open a PH file?

You need a suitable software like PHYLIP to open a PH file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your PH file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PH file directly in the browser:.

PH file format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the PH files is as follows:

PH is rarely used as a file extension and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 30% of all PH files start with the magic bytes ( ( , which are always the first bytes of this file format. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. The files are often between 160 bytes and 3 KB in size. The file type is very recent. The file name Sequence.ph is typical for these files. Files like these have the following tags: protein.
• 10% of all PH files start with the magic bytes ( ( , which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files contain text and words, not binary data. PH files can be up to 1 KB in size, but are often around 140 bytes - 790 bytes. The following filename is common: CORE_PHYLOGENY.ph. Files like these have the following tags: phylogeny and core.

All other PH files (60%) have different formats, the following 4 formats exist: PH video. Files like these are sometimes linked to tree, track, here, australia or scene. Just click the "Choose your .ph file to view this image" button on this page to find out what your PH file is.
