Los Apache Handlers le permiten controlar lo que Apache va a hacer con cierto tipo de archivos.
Cuando Apache ve un fichero realiza una acción por defecto según el tipo de fichero.
Si desea que Apache realice una acción diferente, tendrá que hacer un Handler para decirle a Apache que acción realizar. Por ejemplo, si utiliza un tipo de archivo que requiere un servicio especial para ejecutarlo, como un archivo con inclusiones en el lado del servidor que no tiene la extensión .shtml, es necesario decirle a Apache que trate estos archivos de forma diferente.
Para permitir que en archivos HTML se maneje código PHP, es necesario añadir esta línea a su archivo htaccess.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5. Html. Htm
No es recomendable configurar a Apache para que las páginas HTML manejen automáticamente codigo php o shtml, porque esto obliga a que todas las páginas html sean procesadas por el servidor. En muy preferible cambiarle el nombre de archivos a .php o .shtml siempre que sea posible.
