How can I rewrite file extension, so when file have extension html, Apache thinks that is php extension?

I need it because I have to install some PHP application, which contains HTML files with PHP code in it…

Tryed with .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule  ^(.*).html$ $1.php [R=301]

… but no luck.

Thank you in advance!
