PHP version change for single domain | browser download it - php

My Webhoster doesnt accept PHP Version change for single domains. The PHP version (7.3) work only for all domains on my webhost account. But for one domain, i need 5.3 and i cant configure it.
I can made extensions in "Apache-Configuration" > "for single Domains" but i dont know what command code i need here. I tried second way, in htaccess to force it via "AddHandler..." "AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php" but the browser open/download a file instead.
can it be that my webhost does not allow simultaneous use of different versions? is there any possibility ?
Try all solution on stackoverflow i found. (My Site is a index.php)
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php5-3 .php
No PHP changing. Instead, browser want downloading a file.

This is what I use, for php 7.3:
#AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php73 .php .php7 .phtml .html .htm
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
You may want to consider switching your webhost... the standard version of cPanel allows for multiple PHP installations, configurable per domain.

Apache runs php files with or without .php extension

My apache runs php files with or without .php extension, How can I disable this and force apache to run php files only with .php extension. I don't want to use .htaccess, this might be an apache config. does anyone know how to disable this option?
Thanks for the answer but using Addtype as you mentioned did not ever work for me, all by itself, even in PHP 5..
Here's what I've tried that DOESN'T work with this version of PHP:
Options +ExecCGI
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .nusuffix
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php .nusuffix
This worked for PHP 5. Now, does not.
This is for a hosted account, so I must do this via .haccess.
You can check your httpd.conf what extensions are configured, it need need to be following. if there is change in your file you can change it to following and restart the apache
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

please add if anything is missing

run htm file as php using htaccess

I have few files whose extension is htm that i want to run as php using htaccess code
this is the htaccess code that i am using
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .php .html
this code work fine but now i change my hosting server in that this code not working.
i tried all these code but no one work
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
my new server says
cPanel Linux Hosting packages only support the SymLinksIfOwnerMatch option in the .htaccess file.
Please point me in right direction how can i run htm file as php on my server
I'm afraid it's a no-go then... If your hosting blocks the appropriate directives in your .htaccess, your only way to go would be to either blackmail or hack the provider, or change the extension from .htm to .php. As this is really a server-administration thing, and if the server administrator doesn't allow you, there is no way you can go around it...
A hacky solution would be to use rewrites to route .htm to .php files. But still then you'd need to rename your files from .htm to .php. This could be a solution if you're app routing isn't setup dynamically and your main concern is that the url's should not be changed. Although changed url's can be caught with 301 redirects.

Custom php extension not being parsed

I wanted to change the .php extension to .foo, to hide it for visitors.
My webserver has cPanel installed, so I logged in and clicked on "MIME Types", and entered the following:
MIME Type: application/x-httpd-php
Extension: foo
The problem is that it's not being parsed as PHP, but instead is downloaded (when you click the link, a file containing all the code of that file is being downloaded)
How would I solve this?
Add in httpd.conf or vhost.conf
<IfModule mime_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .foo
</IfModule>
But best way to solve you problem is in using mod_rewrite
If you have the necessary AllowOverride permissions to use .htaccess, try
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .foo
For some reason our CentOS server needs x-httpd-php5, where as our WAMP internal server just uses x-httpd-php like you have (and -php5 will not work)
I have a CPanel based website and we used the above rule to set .html to be parsed as php, didn't even bother with the CPanel Mime settings... but there are other ways to determine if a server is running PHP so you're not really hiding that you use PHP from anyone who knows what they are doing

htaccess rule to parse php in html files not working

can't for the life of me work out why this isn't working - on a dreamhost server, I've created an htaccess file and added AddHandler php5-cgi .html .htm to allow php in html files, as per the dreamhost docs. On an identical dreamhost package, I've done the same thing for another site and it worked perfectly, but in this case it just won't parse the php! Is there anything I could have missed here which could be causing the problem? The htaccess is in the web root and isn't being overridden by anything else.
Try this
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
The above setting will work if the apache is picking php as a module.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
or
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
above will work if apache is executing php as CGI?
there is no harm i would say to put both of the above conditions together but try one over other and see if it work for you.
read more here in this article I wrote.
Is your server using suPHP rather than mod_php or plain php-cgi?
Try using
AddHandler x-httpd-php .html .htm
or
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
instead.
Postscript
Shared Hosting services use UID based separation on individual accounts from each others. Most use suPHP, but some use suEXEC. They will use one of these. Both act as a su wrapper around php-cgi so you can't tell from the phpinfo()as its PHP scripting engine as this will report Server API CGI/FastCGI in both cases. For CGI initiated scripts, phpinfo doesn't report on the Apache config. You need either to look at your hosting provider's FAQ or possibly try:
<?php
header( "Content-Type: text/plain");
echo system('grep -iR LoadModule /etc/httpd /etc/apache2');
The hosting provider's support forums / FAQ might give specific configuration advice here. Have you tried them?
I've got the same problem as you but I just put this AddType php .html .htm to my .htaccess, it's working.
For me it is working for only like this:
AddHandler php-cgi .php .htm

XAMPP problems with PHP5

I enabled PHP5 on my website and my webhost needs me to add the following to .htaccess files for PHP5 to work:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
Locally, I am running XAMPP to develop code, but XAMPP does not want to work with the .htaccess file above.
I think it is an issue with XAMPP not recognizing php5 (but it does recognize php if I use "application/x-httpd-php" instead of "application/x-httpd-php5")
How do I resolve this?! I need the .htaccess files to look like above so they work with my webhost, but I need XAMPP to work locally with the same files without making changes!
Apache has <IfDefine> directive. You can use it to hide AddType from your own server:
<IfDefine !MyServer>
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 …
…
</IfDefine>
And start apache with
apachectl -D MyServer
So, you're in kind of a tough place; ideally speaking your webhost should not need you to put extra gunk in your htaccess files. Not knowing XAMPP too well, I can't offer a specific solution, but I can give you some pointers:
Your webhost is running a custom compiled version of PHP that uses application/x-httpd-php5; while it is totally possible to build PHP yourself or find a custom build that has the SAPI layer configured appropriately, you probably don't want to do this.
Depending on how much leeway your host is giving htaccess files, it may be possible to use <IfDefine> or <IfModule> to only conditionally execute the PHP fudge code. I haven't tested, and your webhost may have disabled this functionality. Also, you will have to find an appropriate conditional to test against.
My favorite answer would be to suck it up, and maintain separate htaccess files. I do this on my website; I have a .htaccess.in file which contains "global" declarations, and an htaccess.php file which generates the real .htaccess file based on configuration, etc.
Hope that helps.
Another simple solution: change the config file name at home. E.g. in httpd.conf:
<Directory />
#existing stuff here...
AccessFileName .htaccess.home
</Directory>
Now your home server will ignore your ".htaccess" files. You'll configure it with ".htaccess.home" files.
