To process PHP code in files with .htm, .html extension you should create .htaccess (or add required entry) in root directory of the site and put the following code into it:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml .htm .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml .htm .html
Then just save the file and start working.
