There are two variations,depending upon how the server has been configured. Some trial and error testing issrequired to see which method works with your server configuration.This code should work on most Apache servers that are configured to run PHP as a module.AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html Some servers run PHP as a CGI. If the first method does not work, try this method
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
