Problem with html parsed as php? or something else

I need some help. I have an old website that I wrote about 8 years ago Commercial loan advice { Business and Real Estate} “Free advice on loans and credit business loans, rental property financing and consumer loans” that uses php to include some sections into the html pages. In order to parse html as php, I had some code in my htaccess file:


AddType application/x-httpd-php html
AddType application/x-httpd-php htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php html htm

My problem is that they seem to have changed something server side. They certainly changed the php version. http://www.loanuniverse.com/testing.php They might have done some other changes, but the end result is that now the pages are not displaying and instead they are prompting a download.
I have tried changing the .htaccess file several times. Do you guys have any ideas? Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way

And yes, I know the site is horrible and has tables and the code is pathetic. The worst part is that I am even rustier now than when I did it.

My plan is to get the old site running and switch to a content management solution like wordpress.

Thanks did not work. never tried it with the “.” before so I thought this time it might do the trick.

Follow up question… is it possible to do something that would automatically take someone coming into the site looking for abc.html to be sent to a copy named abc.php

php pages are being served correctly and i created a copy at http://www.loanuniverse.com/index.php that is working fine. I guess I could rename the files, change the links in the navigation elements and get the site back up again

Maybe try this in your .htaccess file instead:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
