embedded php code in html being displayed

i bought this php script开发者_JAVA百科 and all the pages are in .html

when I upload it to my ubuntu server and access the site, the php codes are literally displayed along with the html....

what gives ? how to fix this ?

change the file extension from .html to .php =)

Add this to your .htaccess file to have PHP process your file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
