HTML pages with php?

[litton1]

I have a client who has some .html WebPages that are ranked quite well. is it possible to put php into these WebPages without changing the HTML extension into a php one? thanks in advance.

Binary Intelligence, true or false?

No, you can't, because then any PHP code in them will not get interpreted by the server as PHP. The extension tells the server what to do with them.

htm,html, display as is
PHP,ASP, execute in server then display.

[litton1]

what is the phtml extension?

ok found the answer (i new that i had seen it somewhere)
instead of
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
you have
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
according to this page

Of course you realize that it is going to parse every html file in there even if it does not have any PHP code. this might cause some delay issues or lag, when you are dealing with very large informative html pages. Since it will have to go through them. But any way it should still work.

yes true but is this not what would happen amyway?

There is no problem with that, litton1.
No matter what, it's already working like that anyway.
The parser will only process the PHP if there are codes in this tag:
<?
?>

So, what you need to be aware of is to make sure there is no such tag in your HTML file, or it will return error.

Good luck.
