Unable to get php working in apache

[sdrulea]

You're absolutely correct! I moved the <?php ..?> script into index.php and
it works fine.

I understand the performance cost associated with processing PHP in .html
files. Nevertheless, if I wanted to enable PHP in .html files, what would I
need to do?
