That doesn't matter if it is only in one page. That AddType statement is
telling Apache to scan *ALL* html pages for php. Apache doesn't care if
there is php code in just one of your pages or every single page on the
server. The *BEST* way is to change that individual page to have the
extension of '.php'
If for some reason that can not be done you can use the XBitHack and use
chmod +x filename.html
This will tell Apache to *ONLY* parse the given filename for any '.php'
code. This is still a much better way than the first method suggested.
