SetHandler won't work in '.htaccess'

Hi.

Working with Apache 2 on Linux, I'm trying to make 'whatever.foo' be
executed
as a PHP file within my 'http://homeserver' (/home/user/html)

So I inserted a .htacess within '/home/user/html':
--------------
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
--------------

And I created 'test' file:
-------------------
<?php
print "Hello World!\n";
?>
------------------

But when accessing 'http://homeserver/test' I can only see the PHP
code,
but not "Hello World". What am I doing wrong?

Thxs

Is Apache's php support compiled as a module ? If so, do you have
a line along the lines of :

LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so

in your httpd.conf ?

You'd also need to use :

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

in your .htaccess instead of SetHandler.

Yes. It's a PHP-compiled Apache server and I've got the line you
mentioned.

I did it, but it doesn't work. :(
