PHP works with .php files, but not in .htm

I am a new to this and am thankful to anyone of you that can help me, so
thanks in advance.

All my scripts and html is in c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs.
I have no idea why my .php scripts work when brought up in a browser but not
htm with php inlcudes or simple echo statements.
..
I set up the PHP5 and APACHE 2 on WindowsXP for learning. I Ran the <?php
phpinfo();?> This is what I got. Anyone have any ideas what I am doing
wrong?

Only *.php files are recognized as containing PHP code and only they
execute that code. You need to change the mime-type for *.html pages to
behave like the *.php pages.

Pieter <P.dfm@wsx.nl> email worked. Thanks.
