How do you make an html file run as php?

[Zonglars]

I’m trying to have the HTML files in a certain folder get parsed as PHP files. I’m on JustHost, so I can’t change the .conf files. I’m trying to use the htaccess trick:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

But it won’t work; any time I try to visit the page, Firefox is asking to download it, like a .zip or .mov file. And if I use AddHandler instead, it just loads the page with the php code unparsed.

Is there something missing with my code? Can I even do it this way?

That’s the only way I know of =/

Well… maybe there is something you can do to the server configuration to force it too? php.ini? apache config?
