It probably sounds odd due to my ignorance.  My experience with PHP thus far
has been limited to a few things, such as the strstr() function, echo,
simple arrays and some basic browser detection.

My other .html pages have an include executing a CGI script called
"logger.cgi" that tracks user traffic.   It's a great script written in Perl
by Alan Fraser (http://w3.one.net/~a_fraser/source/source.html) that I've
been using for years.  I have one or two PHP pages on my site, the first of
which is the homepage, but it's also a page I wanted to add the "logger"
script to.  I'm also using the strstr() function for another purpose, so I
felt it necessary to have both the ability for the include file to execute.

I removed the second AddType in my first example, and that enabled the
include to run.  So it looks like my fears are correct:  the latest
directive is the one the .htaccess file recognizes.  I guess it's analogous
to setting a variable and then resetting it to another value later on.
Unfortunately, I need both to work.

I tried adding the line AddHandler server-parsed .php but the result is that
the browser doesn't know how to handle the page.  Instead of the browser
rendering the page, it asks me if I want to download the .php file.
