Parse .html as PHP in XAMPP
July 30, 2009
How can I configure Apache to treat .html files as PHP?
This is very common issue faced by almost every developer at some point, recently I had it on my XAMPP setup (version 1.7.1). Other concerning details are:
###### ApacheFriends XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.1 ######
+ Apache 2.2.11
+ MySQL 5.1.33 (Community Server)
+ PHP 5.2.9 + PEAR (Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued)
Solution:
I simply changed following line:
<FilesMatch “\.php$|\.php5$|\.php4$|\.php3$|\.phtml$|\.phpt$”>
to
<FilesMatch “\.php$|\.php5$|\.php4$|\.php3$|\.phtml$|\.phpt$|\.html$“>
in httpd-xampp.conf
and it worked great.
