How to make nginx interpret html files as php?

Question

Nginx

There is an nginx+phpfpm server.
Files with the .php extension are returned normally, but in the .htm/.html files, the php code is returned as source text without being broadcast. How to make nginx broadcast html files with php code?

Answer 1

I suggested it in a comment to the question, I'm posting it as an answer (for those who encounter this problem).
1. nginx should pass html files to the fastcgi backend. To do this, you need to change the Location, where the processing of php files is registered, or add a new Location.

location ~ .(php|html)$ {
 fastcgi_pass ...
 fastcgi_index index.php;
 fastcgi_param ...
 include fastcgi_params;
 }

2. php-fpm by default refuses to process files that do NOT end with ".php"
In php-fpm.conf (or in your pool config if you have a division into pools) you can add the line:
security.limit_extensions = .php .html
Remember that this is a security setting . Be sure to think about the possible consequences.

Answer 2

And what do you really care what extension the vile has? You can add internal redirects from *.html to *.php in nginx
