php not working from within .html

[wisinc99]

Web Host just moved me to a new server and upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5

the server is Apache

now, a simple thing like

 

<?php

echo '<p>Hello World</p>';

?>

 

does not work from within an 'html' document  (ie php_basic.html)

I have to rename to a 'php' document (ie php_basic.php)

then it works.

 

I'm going to have to change menus and filenames throughout several websites.

The web host says they have no idea, but security is much tighter (?)

 

Does anyone have an idea how to get around this?

Add the following line into your .htaccess file.

 

AddType x-httpd-php .php .html

I did that but no that didn't help

 

.htaccess follows:

# -FrontPage-

 

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

 

AddType x-httpd-php .php .html

 

<Limit GET POST>

order deny,allow

deny from all

allow from all

</Limit>

<Limit PUT DELETE>

order deny,allow

deny from all

</Limit>

 

(I removed 3 Auth entries from this post)

PHP isn't SUPPOSED to work with in an HTML document unless you have the MIME types set up properly, but thorpe's line should have fixed that... >_>
