There are some parameters in the httpd.conf file for apache that designate which file types will be parsed for php code. Here are the ones on one of my servers; --------------------------------------snip ---------------------------------- # # AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration # file mime.types for specific file types. # AddType application/x-tar .tgz AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 <-------------------- here # --------------------------------------------snip------------------------ -- Notice that .html filetypes are not parsed by the php processor, at least not in this implementation. Renaming your file to be "something.php" instead of something.html should do the trick. Keep in mind that the PHP processor will pass any raw html and javascript straight thru to the browser.
