Problem with cutsom error pages and addtype in .htaccess

I am trying to have custom error pages served using htaccess. This
works fine if i just use the errordocument directive. But additionally
I want to have my html docs parsed as php, so I have added the AddType
directive

When i combine these two in my .htaccess file - the custom error pages
do not get shown.

The .htaccess file I am trying to use is:

AddType x-mapp-php3 .php .php3 .htm .html
AddType x-mapp-php4 .php .php4 .htm .html

ErrorDocument 400 /error.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error.html
ErrorDocument 401 /error.html

Unfortunately I don't have write access to httpd.conf.
Apache/1.3.29 (Unix).

Does Apache have the php modules loaded? if so, you shouldn't add any
extra directive in the .htaccess file because it's already in the
httpd.conf file.

Use a standard .php file.
