Process specific .htm page as .php on Apache server

Question

I'm programming for an Apache server and I need for just one specific html page (say, first.htm) to be processed as PHP script. Is it possible to set up?

If I understand your question you can change just the file extension to .php, — itsme, Jun 27 '12 at 20:04

SetHandler directive can be used, too:

Forces all matching files to be processed by a handler

When placed into an .htaccess file or a or section, this directive forces all matching files to be parsed through the handler given by handler-name.

<Files first.htm>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

+1 - This is actually the proper way to do it. AddType is for MIME types, which are a totally different concept and it was a mistake for PHP to recommend configuring it that way. The PHP docs no longer recommend using AddType and now recommend SetHandler. – Dondi Michael Stroma Jun 28 '12 at 01:54

Create a file called .htaccess and place it in the directory this file will be in. Add this line to ti:

<Files first.htm>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
</Files>

Yes, that will do it with all HTML page. I need it for just one specific page. – ahmd0 Jun 27 '12 at 20:04
Thanks. Can I specify a path to the .html file as well to remove possible ambiguity? – ahmd0 Jun 27 '12 at 20:07

Not necessary if you put the htaccess file in the same directory as the file. – John Conde Jun 27 '12 at 20:09

Thanks for your help. Now I know where to look. Much appreciated. – ahmd0 Jun 27 '12 at 20:09
If I may further the question: any way to set it so that all `.htm` can be set instead of a single file? – Funk Forty Niner Jun 27 '12 at 20:32
Just use `AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm` only. Ignore the tags. – John Conde Jun 27 '12 at 20:33

AddType have a 2nd parameter, in johns case ".htm", ForceType chane type on all files in the current scope, while AddType change the type on all files in the scope that ends whit .htm – Puggan Se Jun 27 '12 at 20:11
