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

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.
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
I'm using PhpStorm 2016 with php language level 5.6 and the interpeter is PHP 5(5.6.24) and xampp version 3.2.2 .
I'm trying to add some php code in html page,
I created a file .htaccess in the same folder where my html file located, and put AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm inside it, added <?php echo "example" ?> but it doesn't show up.
I even tried <FilesMatch "\.html$">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>, AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm and AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm but nothing work, don't know what eles to do.
Hope you can help me with any idea.
Thank you.
You may need to edit the Apache config file, and check if AllowOverride is set to none. If AllowOverride is set to None, .htaccess files are completely ignored.
See httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#allowoverride
To allow only the ForceType directive it would be
AllowOverride FileInfo
or if you want all entries in your .htaccess to be honored, then
AllowOverride All
In order to get xampp to interpret the file as PHP, you will need to set the Apache Server web-root to the base of your project (where the html files are) and access the webserver via the server (HTTP in a web-browser).
It sounds like you're trying to access the file directly with the browser (skipping the PHP processor).
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
I'm running XAMPP.
Is there a line I can add to .htaccess or http.conf to make ASP be parsed and handled as PHP pages?
I had it setup before but can't remember how to do it. What I've tried so far hasn't worked.
Edit: None of these solutions are working, I've tried everything.
If none of the solution above is ok with you, check your Server API with phpinfo(); method.
If Server API is CGI or FAST CGI change it to Apache 2.0 Handler.You can do it using Plesk Panel or CPanel.
Another option is not to change Server API but .htaccess or httpd.conf : http://avinashsing.sunkur.com/2012/04/19/how-to-map-another-file-extension-to-the-php-parser-through-htaccess/.
But I have solved my problem with the first one.
Maybe try this:
AddHandler php5-script .php .asp .aspx .ascx .ashx .asmx
AddType text/html .php .asp .aspx .ascx .ashx .asmx
Add this to your httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .asp .aspx .ascx .ashx
Try adding this line to .htaccess;
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .asp
Apparently it is not as efficient as adding the equivalent to http.conf but it works even when you don't have access to http.conf.
Adding this line in .htaccess enabled me to execute PHP code written in .asp pages:
AddHandler php5-script .php .asp
Apache does not have a module for ASP processing. You have to use IIS for that. Modern IIS can run PHP so you may do it the other way around, use IIS and plug PHP into it.
