Can I parse a .cgi file as php?

[Patrick Taylor]

My .htaccess file contains:

AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm

Most of my pages have a .php file extension but one or two are .htm, which contain some php, hence the above line.

I have a file with a .cgi extension, which also contains some php but isn't being parsed as such - is there a line I can put in my .htaccess file to make it so?

Just add that to it:

AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm .cgi

This line shows apache what files to parse.

Thanks for the reply. Doing that, though, had pretty drastic results! The whole page blew apart. It seems the perl code (my cgi files are a third party search engine I have installed on my site in the cgi-bin) did not like it.
