html not parsing as php in wamp

Question

I am using this snippet in my .htaccess file to parse html as php:

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|txt)$">
 SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
</FilesMatch>

this is working fine in my website(online) but not in my localhost (using WAMP latest version).. but if I change the above code to:

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|txt)$">
 SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

then, this is working fine in my localhost but not in my website.. I have to add/remove the 5 in SetHandler application/x-httpd-php to work in either one side.

Please, help me..

You can edit your local httpd.conf file, and add the mime modules you need:

<IfModule mime_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .txt
</IfModule>

This should work for your local host. If you can't configure your server this way, and since your .htaccess works there, use the .htaccess config for your server only.
