Hello,
My apache server provides php; however, I wish to use
php within a htm document.

I have added code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

to my htaccess file

and then attempted to run a web page
with the following code embedded in in:

<?php echo "I LOVE PHP!";?>

Yet when I try my www.mydomain.test1.htm page I get a blank page in IE

any help would be appreciated

Thanks

i use

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

do you have this in .htaccess?

ask your host about it. i also use
AddType x-mapp-php4 .php .php4 .htm .html .css
on my windows dev server

is the php code visible in the html source?

"is the php code visible in the html source?"

Not sure what u mean by the above

I placed:
<?php echo "I LOVE PHP!";?>

in the html source of a page called test1.htm yet see nothing when I visit the page www.mydomain.com/test1.htm

when you view source in the browser what do you see?

Had to remove the htacccess entries because
pages were not even loading in Firefox,
but attempting to download.

well I am assuming this is a typo in your first post

>> www.mydomain.test1.htm page

your AddType line looks fine but obviously isn't quite right

I would probably suggest contacting your host to make sure you can use .htaccess files, hich I am guessing you can as they screwed eveything up.

Also make sure php is installed and that what you are trying should work.

first try to add that code in a .php file to just check even if it is being parsed by the server? that might give you any hint

Yes, it worked fine in a php page.

Just doesn't work in a htm page with any
entry I have made to htaccess.
Yes, I am able to edit htaccess and changes
do take effect.

Thanks

also, yes that was a typo above

It appears, you may have a setting incorrect or do not have permission/the correct module to add a handler or type, since the page should load with the php string as visible text in htm format -- not deliver a blank page...

The first thing I would do is run phpinfo() and find out if mod_mime is loaded and accessible to you -- If not you will need to contact your host.

Second I would try a simple rewrite or something that I know works, to determine if AllowOverride is set to FileInfo or All.

Third, I would try using AddHandler, rather than type:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Well Thanks anyways, not much seems to work

Tried
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm

blank page is the result

my other items in my htaccess seem to work fine:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) [mydomain.com...] [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}!^$
RewriteRule .* - [G]
AddType text/html .shtml .shtm .htm .html

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .shtm .htm .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm

ran php info and didnt see anything about mod_mime so maybe thats the problem
