I made an .htaccess file to allow my .html files to be parsed for
any php on them. It has:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

It did not work on one server (a university server that is Apache
and Unix and all that good old stuff, nothing Windows or funny
stuff). Before I contact server admin, any other ways to
accomplish getting a .html file to be so parsed? If I name my
files .php on this particular server, all work fine. I can put
the .htaccess file simply at the top level of my website or one
level above (where I see no *other* files, no permission
probably). I have no real idea about this stuff, but I love it
when it works. <g>

Multiviews would work, also.

But it's a very bad idea to parse all files as PHP files. It puts an
unnecessary load on the server for those files which do not contain PHP
code.

If they contain PHP code, they should have a .php extension. Problem
solved.

And BTW - you should be asking this in alt.apache.configuration. It's
not really a PHP question.

Actually, thanks for this one. I will try there.

Check alt.apache.configuration (assuming, of course, you use Apache).

If the admin has configured the apache to not allow users to use .htaccess,
then there aren't anything you can do about it than ask the admins.

IMHO it's a really bad thing to let php parse all html files, as this increase
the load on the server.

Thanks, I better ask them. I have had a radical new thought: for
this particular job, I might just change the files to .php and be
done. All work fine then.

(As for server load, all this came up before once and it seems
not a straightforward matter. I have a site that works well and
quick that parses the html for php, nearly all files having some
php on it).
