Pierre, I do it in the VirtualHost container for the particular site where I
want .hmtl files to be parsed by PHP (httpd.conf).  Just add:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

If you want to see it in action, visit the site in my sig.  In particular
look at the software installation pages - they're all PHP generated, pulling
data from a MySQL db.  AddType directives can be set in .htaccess, srm.conf.
and httpd.conf.  What you decide depends on whether you want to do it
globally, by site, by directory and whether your Apache is configured to
allow site owners to use the directive in .htaccess.
