Can't say if AddType allowed in .htaccess or not.
Your best bet is to use header(); function and leave extension .php as is.
If You are running rented virtual server, You have little to no ability to
control document types on server.
Other way is to ask Your hosting provider if it is possible to use filters
SAPI instead of default Apache handler SAPI. But that only available if PHP
running as Apache module AFAIK.
