.htaccess AddType addition causes error

[chachi]

Hi gang. Fired up to get the Ad Network rollin'. I added AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html to my .htaccess file and it creates a situation where IE asks if I want to open, save or cancel a file download rather than load the .html pages as usual. Searched around the web for a whilie...found people with the same problem, but nobody had a solution that I have seen yet. Anyone have the solution?

Sounds like your web server doesn't support PHP in that case...

[chachi]

That is not the case...there are php pages on that site :)

I am wondering if maybe I need to go into the apache config and do it down there

[digitalpoint]

Possibly... your setup might not allow certain items to be set within the .htaccess file...

I'll get to the bottom of this and post the answer here.

Well, it appears that if SSI is enabled on that server, that you cannot have two "handlers" going at the same time. If you are using server side includes (SSI) with apache, and have added a line:

AddHandler server-parsed .html

in your httpd.conf file so that .html files can use SSI, this setting will prevent

addtype application/x-httpd-php .php .html

from working (.php will work, but .html won't). So, it appears I need to dump SSI support for .html files if I want to get php to work with .html files. The other thing is, a very good friend just told me that I could not include the php in an include file to begin with. I am taking his word at that as he is pretty darn good at what he does. :)

So, that is a bummer. I was going to include the php into a sitewide include I already use for some menus. Anyone have any thoughts?

[digitalpoint]

Or... you could use the SSI/shtml implementation of the ad network. :)

[chachi]

and change all of my file extensions? I believe I was incorrect above in my understanding. php will work in an include on a page with a php extension

[digitalpoint]

Right... You can include a PHP file within a PHP file.

Addtype application/x-httpd-php .php .html

I try to put that code also in my .htaccess, everything works fine, my hmtl file now works with embeded php code on it:D :D :D

You can always do a site wide search and replace and turn all the SSI into php includes? I just did that myself.

Hi can somebody post teh complete command please?

The original one is

"addtype application/x-httpd-php .php .html "

where does SSI/shtml come in?
