reading includes that are in php from shtml pages

[heldenbrau]

 

I want some php includes in my shtml files.

 

I have the following line added in the head section of my shtml page.

 

<MIME TYPE Extension application/x-httpd-php.html>

 

But when I open the page, the php doesn't work.  The code is not displayed though, it is only displayed in the source.

 

The code that is in the include is
Code: [select]
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
$username=($_SESSION['username']);
  echo"You are logged in as $username";
}

?>

 

Also what do I put as the include, is it 

<!--#include file="file.html"-->

or <!--#include file="file.php"-->

 

I am using PHP5 and Apache2.2
