one html page compiled like php - is it possible ?

Hi,

I need to execute some php code on a .html page, but I cannot change the file name and the html extension to php.

Anybody knows if (and how) is it possible to tell apache to consider such html file like a php script ?

Thanks a lot

In httpd.conf, you can use the addtype directive, just like you did for the php extension. Just add this line and restart apache

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

or you can just include that HTML file into a php file.

file.html

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
   echo "HELLO! <br />";
?>
</body>
</html>

file.php

<?php
   include("file.html");
?>

Why can't you change the extension to php? Is it because PHP is not supported? If so you cannot execute the PHP at all.
