php in html
ok, i went with hostway's dedicated linux server. problem is i desperatly need to have php code executed inside my html files. me or hostway support just can't do this despite tring everything.

me php configuration can be viewed @
php is installed as cgi under linux, apache, php version number 4.3.1
Trying to solve the problem by adding

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
AddHandler php-script html

or
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html

to my .htaccess or .httpd does not work

my old shared hosting at affinity is able to do this my putting simple .htaccess file. there i had php under solaris, unix, under apache, as cgi, php 4.0.6 i think, but the new server is just impossible.

I would really appreciate any help. thanks. arman

php is installed as cgi

..which means that your PHP scripts must be named something like foo.cgi and have the PHP shebang in the script: #!/usr/bin/php4 (or whatever the path is on the server)

To make your .htm or .html pages process like they were .php, just add this line to your .htaccess file:

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

Well, nell... that doesn't help if PHP is installed as CGI. Then it has to be run as a CGI file. The Apache PHP module won't help (unless it's installed).

use the cgi-bin folder for the scripts,
otherwise it won't do anything ...
