    I run a IIS 6.0 Server 2003

    Test.php
    <?php
    // testing sessions
    // check to see if files are being created
    // in the session.save_path folder
    session_start();
    ?>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>PHP Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>
    The browser you're using is
    <?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; ?>
    </p>
    <p>
    <!-- test the browscap setup -->
    Your browser's capabilities are: <br/>
    <pre>
    <?php print_r(get_browser(null, true)); ?>
    </pre>
    </p>
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    This file runs fine from a browser as long as its named .php

    It will not run as an .htm file
    How do I set my server to make .htm run this script or if its not the server am I missing some sytax. I assume php can be run as htm.
    Fricking drivin me nuts for days

    Traditionally, no. To run PHP you have to have your file named with .php. However, I believe there is some configuration for your server that will allow you to "embed" php into other pages - you would have to contact your host about this, and I doubt that they will change it. Why must your pages be .htm? If you needed to keep the .htm for linking/seo purposes, you could always use your .htaccess file to take the URL mysite.com/page.htm and actually call mysite.com/page.php

    Put this in your .htaccess file
    
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm
