Using PHP code in HTML w/o PHP extension

[B-truE]

Is there a way to run PHP code in an HTML web page, without the PHP extension (using an html extension)? [I do not have access to compile in the html extension into PHP/Apache either.]

I have a web page that has a html extension that I cannot change at this time (due to it being heavily indexed by that name), and I would like to run some PHP code in it. Namely, I would like to add a PHP voting/polling script to it.

Thanks.

you can add an AddType directive to a .htaccess file which should
be located in the folder where the html file is

disadvantage: all html files in and below this folder will be sent
through the PHP parser which may result in slower performance

additional info to AddType can be found at apache.org

Thanks for the response. I will opt for a Perl script for now, while I recode the entire site for PHP.

The .htaccess method that you referred to is indeed the way to go, if I must make it work. But, I don't want to take any chances with slower loading pages...
