php tag in html file.

[harry]

When I use a php tag in my html page there is no effect of that code on my page. Why is it so. ?
should a rename that page to .php, so that code will work ?

You can simply request our support staff to embed php with html in apache configuration. We just need to add module which will execute php code in your html pages.

For those who have dedicated servers or VPS can do this in "AddHandler" section of httpd.conf

Simply add following line in AddHandler :-

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

After adding it the addhandler section would look like this :-

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
AddType text/html .shtml
AddType application/x-tar .tgz
AddType text/vnd.wap.wml .wml
AddType image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript .wmls
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlc .wmlc
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc .wmlsc
