How can I have the server parse html files as if they were php?

This only applies to linux hosting accounts:

Inside the directory with the html files, create a .htaccess file and inside, place the following -

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html

For windows hosting accounts:

Inside your web.config file, placed the following between the <handlers> tags:

<add name="html via php cgi" path="*.html" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Php5\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Unspecified" />

I am on ASP Personal class and using DNN. I am trying to use existing PHP scripts from Poker Mavens remotely, to show several things, such as; Chip Leader Board, New User Account, and (poker) Server Status. I added the above handler to my web.config file and still nothing. Can anyone help? AM I on the wrong type of server to run DNN?

If you are remotely accessing php files, you do not need any handlers as the php scripts would run on the remote server.

Any idea how to do this for asp? That is have static .html files run asp by modifying web.config file?

I would use http://blog.arvixe.com/how-to-use-internet-information-services-iis-7-manager-to-connect-remotely-to-your-website/ to view your site remotely and under the extensions section, mimic how .asp is setup and alter .html to do the same.
