HTML files via PHP engine?

I've got a strange issue going on and I don't know what to do about it.  I'm using a hosting account (server info is quoted below--copy/pasted from CPanel).  I've got my main domain and two add-on domains.  I HAD all of them config'd to have all HTML files processed via the PHP engine.  Last night, the main domain and one add-on domain stopped processing the PHP code that's in the HTML files but one of the add-on domains is still processing the PHP code.

 

I could have sworn that I used either "Apache Handlers" or "MIME Type" on the CPanel to do this.  But I can't get it to work now.  When I created a file called phpinfo.php (with one line:  <?php phpinfo(); ?>) and loaded it, it DID work.  So the PHP engine IS working.

Why can the files just not have the .php extention instead of .html or .htm?  Seems a little pointles? 

 

There are two reasons.  1) when I first started learning PHP, I was concerned that by showing exactly what scripting language I was using, I would be making it easier for them to hack my sites.  I now have a bunch of HTML files with PHP code in them and would REALLY rather not go through and change them all.  2) From what I've read if the search engines know that a page is scripted, it gives the page a lower rating for the searches (google doesn't like scripted pages).  The way that I have my sites set up, there is NO indication that any page is scripted--although with some of them, one would have to be stupid to believe they're not scripted.

 

But it's a now a moot point anyway.  I sent my host a support request and he fixed it--I'm still not too sure what went wrong.
