Server not parsing .html as PHP

Question

I have the included code in my .htaccess file but the php code I am attempting to include is not working.

Options +Includes
AddType text/html  .htm .html
AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html
AddType application/octet-stream .vcf
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/htm text/plain text/css text/php    text/javascript application/x-javascript

Answer 1

Try:

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

UPDATE 1

It may be PHP version specific. If you're using PHP5 try:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm

UPDATE 2

Try:

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

Or here's yet another alternative way to do this:

<FilesMatch "\.html$">
    ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Answer 2

On Apache 2.2.22 (Ubuntu) with Php 5 add these lines to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf

<FilesMatch ".+\.html$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

and restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart
