How can I process .html files like .php files?

I need to process .html files like php files..

I need to place php script in .html files and have the server process them like .php files. I only have access to the control panel (CPanel). Is that possible?

Cheers,

I've just gotten finished moving a site and it just resolved - and I just got done setting up this very thing. It's got Cpanel with this as default

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

A PHP include didn't work with just that so I added this and it's working just fine on .html pages

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

MIght be more than needed, but that's what I found when looking up what to do.

Thanks Marcia

Where in the Cpanel do I add the above mentioned lines. I am new to PHP and so I would appreciate any help I can get :)

You don't have to place it anywhere in Cpanel. You need to place it in your .htaccess file.

I did the same thing but through CPanel.
I clicked on the "Apache Handlers" icon then typed in "application/x-httpd-php" for html.
