htaccess rule to parse php in html files not working

php .htaccess dreamhost

can't for the life of me work out why this isn't working - on a dreamhost server, I've created an htaccess file and added AddHandler php5-cgi .html .htm to allow php in html files, as per the dreamhost docs. On an identical dreamhost package, I've done the same thing for another site and it worked perfectly, but in this case it just won't parse the php! Is there anything I could have missed here which could be causing the problem? The htaccess is in the web root and isn't being overridden by anything else.

try this

  AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

The above setting will work if the apache is picking php as a module. 

 AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

or

 AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm

above will work if apache is executing php as CGI?

there is no harm i would say to put both of the above conditions together but try one over other and see if it work for you.
