Actually, I must modify my statement. The correct way is to have a .php
extension for those files which have PHP, and .html or .shtml extension
for those which have html only (depending on your server configuration).
Use SSI in your .(s)html files and php in your .php files.

But you seem to be stuck with a mishmash of both. So handling it in
your Apache configuration is the better way to go.
