Some times the AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .my whatever if you put this in .htaccess file or in HTTPD.conf it seems to be not working.

WHY?
Because sometimes especially if you are using a shared hosting it will be always better if you can find out the version of PHP currently running on your server using phpversion().
So if your host is using PHP v 5+ then the handler that is specified above wont be working and once you hit the webpage, you will be either asked to save the webpage or probably if you check the souce you can see your php codes are not compiled properly.

How to fix this?

Its pretty simple you just need to add the below handler in your .htaccess file

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .php .my

Thanks
