I'm working on an old site, and I want to add cookie functionality in order to allow people to use the mobile site, but also opt-into using the full site if they want. The site is currently all .htm files, and I can't with the budget go in and change every link to .php so I tried adding this to my .htaccess file
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
This is causing the browser I'm using (Firefox) to ask me to download the file. It says it's a application/x-httpd-php file, so I know the .htaccess file is working. When I was building my home web sever, and trying to run a ruby on rails site I ran into the same problem because i hadn't set up ruby correctly and it wasn't rendering the file. But I have never run into a site that doesn't have some sort of support for PHP. Could this be caused by another problem. Or does that .htaccess file change break rules made by some web hosts?
Any support would be amazing! Thank you so much everyone :)
