How to parse .htaccess files as PHP? - Kahuki Webmaster Forum and Discussion Community

For parsing .html file you can add

"AddType application/x-httpd-php .html" in .htaccess, but putting
"AddType application/x-httpd-php .htaccess" in .htaccess it doesn't work (unbelievable ha ha)

How can I adjust that in Linux Environment?

Why the heck do you want to parse an .htaccess file as php? What possible use would that ever have?

Answer: don't do it.

I wouldn't even think of trying to do that. Why expose server controls?

The htaccess file is used to set server and environmental variables, if you want to expose those to the whole world just publish them in your html. Linux attempts to protect users from things that shouldn't be exposed for a very valid reason.

Now all that being said.. it is just a text file and php can indeed parse it.
