Using Apache it's easy to enable PHP for all files of any extension:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .css .js .txt .xml
How do I enable PHP for only a specific file but not all other files with that same extension?
I have tried AddHandler application/x-httpd-php test.xml and it did not work and the search engines aren't coughing up anything remotely relevant.
AddHandler can be used inside a <Files> container.
AddHandler Directive
- Description: Maps the filename extensions to the specified handler
- Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
... where directory stands for:
directory
A directive marked as being valid in this context may be used inside <Directory>, <Location>, <Files>, <If>, and <Proxy> containers in the server configuration files, subject to the restrictions outlined in Configuration Sections.
And <Files> can be used from .htaccess just fine:
<Files> Directive
- Description: Contains directives that apply to matched filenames
- Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
.htaccess file and not the direct server configuration?
Simply:
<Files hello.html>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
</Files>
The file tag selects only hello.html,the AddType then adds php support for all files it can "access". Due to the Files header, it can only "access" hello.html, and so only enable php for this one.
