SuPHP Question - making .html files behave as .php files

[Doug E]

I recently added SuPHP to my server and a lot of my old html pages I had set to act as php are no longer working because of the no php in .htaccess bit.

I've been looking all over for a solution to this. Is there something I can replace the htaccess line I had with something in php.ini?

My old htacess line was

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Here's just some similar htacess commands for people searching for help with this same problem.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm .cgi .php
AddType x-mapp-php4 .html .htm .php
AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .htm .html .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .php

I strongly recommend that you DO NOT parse .html files as PHP scripts.

There is ways you can set this up to work even under SuPHP but it is a very bad idea for a lot of technical reasons and will also substantially increase loads to your server and is generally a very bad idea.

It is much smarter and wiser to properly rename all your .html files to .php and then setup a redirect mapping the original .html URLs to the .php filenames and by doing that, there is no need to update the links in all your files which I am sure is what you are trying to avoid by the question.

Doing things this way, you do not causing unnecessary loads to your server or the many other issues that can be caused by doing what you were asking about but still effectively be able to do the same thing.

With SuPHP you'll want to use the AddHandler option in your .htaccess file instead of the AddType;

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .html .htm

This worked for me but only when accessing to the entire url like http://www.mysite.com/doc.html

But when I go to http://mysite.com/doc.html Google Chrome asks to download a php file instead of opening the page.
