setting Apache up to process an extension as PHP

[news]

Our old Apache and PHP, in httpd.conf we have the following:
#
# These types cause httpd to let the PHP interpreter handle files
with
# the specified extensions.
#
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .bkk
..html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .bkk .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php .bkk .html
</IfModule>

This obviously has allowed us to process .bkk and .html files as PHP.
We're migrating to a new server with Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 4.3.9, and I
can't find in httpd.conf anything that looks like that. In fact, a file
search comes up with NO reference of PHP in httpd.conf. (I know PHP
works fine because I can make a phpinfo.php page with phpinfo() and it
shows up just fine.)

Where in httpd.conf can I put something that will tell it to treat .bkk
and .html as PHP files?

Thanks for any advice!

OK, found this line in httpd.conf:
TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

In that file is a huge list of file types. A search turned up no
reference to "php" however.
Just to test things, I tried inserting:

# PHP
application/x-httpd-php bkk
application/x-httpd-php htm
application/x-httpd-php html

but that didn't change anything.
I think I'm on the right track, this is probably where I need to add
whatever I need to add, but maybe I have the "application/x-httpd-php"
part wrong.

Can't seem to find any hits searching for mime.types and php though.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

On my server (Fedora Core 3) I have /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf. Perhaps
you do too?

Apache 2.0 has an include file facility that allows things like PHP to
isolate themselves to their own standard configuration files instead of
polluting httpd.conf with potentially hundreds of lines. Apache will
read all files in the conf.d directory and include them.

I used to be clueless about math, but I turned that around 360 degrees.

Ah! Excellent. Hadn't known about that. Pretty useful, and it works!
Thanks

In fact, a bunch of things are in that conf.d directory. It would behoove
you to look at them.

I had a similar experience as yours just last week and found that the
items in (or not in) conf.d were what was causing me troubles.
