possibly misconfigured server

problems with php on my new host provider

I recently switched hosting providers, on my previous provider I had include tags in .html files, they worked fine. After I moved to the new one, they stopped working. I sent support a question and this was their response:

Is PHP working on the server? It does not seem to be working IE:
ht$p://www.~~~~~~.vi/test/
thank you

Hello,

In order to get PHP to work, you must give a .php extensions to them. We have renamed the index.html file to index.php and now it is working. Please test it, and report any problems here.

Best Regards,
Support

Is there something misconfigured on their server?

not misconfigured, just differently configured.

They don't turn on php parsing for the .html extension it would seem. You could ask them if you could use .htaccess to enable it. You would need to add something like

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

Thanks,
I edited the .htaccess with that line and the problem was solved.
