I want apache to parse all .html files for php code. Our 'real' web
server is rented from ICDsoft ( php 5 on Apache on Linux whatever), and
their instruction is to add the following to the .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
....which works great.

However, our local in-office server for testing and viewing our sites is
Apache 2.0.55 with PHP 4.4.4 on Windows XP Pro. I have read everything
I can find, and have tried adding the following to the httpd.conf file,
in every combination I can think of:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html
and / or:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

but the page just gets sent as html without the php code being parsed at
all (and yes, I do restart Apache after each change). What am I doing
wrong?

(Here's what httpd.conf contained before--note that it works just fine
for .php files:)
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/php4apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
