How to run php in cgi?

[Fryman]

I have an AWS site (amazon store).
The pages are created from a file called page.template located in the cgi-bin folder.

I also have some mod-rewrite on this site

So, pages look like www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/somepage.htm

I need to run a small php code on these pages but I can't get it to parse, it is showing up as raw code, how can I get it to parse?

You probably need to keep the files somewhere else, not in cgi-bin. You also probably need .php extension, not .htm.

You say you are seeing raw code. Are you writing out a "Content-Type" header before the codes?
