PHP in HTML in Wamp
How in the heck do you run php (includes or other) within an html page (AKA with .html extensions) while testing locally with Wamp? I looked and looked for this answer. Once you find right keywords to search for there seem to be quite a few different solutions. None seemed to work until I ran across a forum post. Below is the most simplist way to do it!
Left click on the Wamp icon in the bottom right tray of your computer >> Apache >> left click on httpd.conf >> scroll 2/3rd's the way down >> add AddType application/x-httpd-php .html to <IfModule mime_module></IfModule> as shown below >> save and close it >> restart Wamp >> Done!
<IfModule mime_module>
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
</IfModule>
Additionally, if you want to setup a virtual directory (AKA Alias), in other words you want to point wamp at your development files instead of moving them into the Wamp www. directory follow this tut.
Add-additionally, relative links (eg images/yada.jpg) in php includes wont work outside the root level when setting it up with the above method (AKA Alias). So if you need to use absolute path links (eg /images/yada.jpg) in php includes, then you need to set up a Virtual Host instead by following this tut.
