parsing html files as php

Daado

I have a new server and the company doesn't seem to understand what I need.

I need to run php code on a html page.

I've created an htaccess file and tried each of the following directives inside of it...

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html

AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm

AddType x-mapp-php4 .html .htm

(they were tried one at a time)

The script output still does not appear.

Is there a feature, funtion or option that would prevent the htaccess file from not working?

Is there something in Apache that needs to be configured?

I know this possible because it worked with my old hosting company several times. I don't know how and they don't offer support for servers other than their own.

I need the page extention to be .html not .php so changing the pages to .php is a non-option.

What needs to happen in order to parse html files as php????

You have named your htaccess correctly
.htaccess

Server apache can be set to not allow .htaccess

This is a setting done in apache configuration file 'httpd.conf'

AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:

Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

AllowOverride All

It can even be allowed on some parts, per Directory basis, of server
and not allowed in other
This configuration is can not be changed by you.
You have to contact webmaster.

Try to make a phpinfo()
to see some server and php configuration.

Put such a page in your webspace
test.php =

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

then run this file

Shouldn't the first attempt be

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .htm

I think those preceeding dots might be important, and of course don't forget to restart your server

Tech support for server company said they modified the htaccess file. I did not see what changes they made but it is working now.

FYI htaccess contains

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html

Thank you both for your quick responses and suggestions.
