The behaviour of the Apache PHP module is affected by settings in php.ini. Configuration settings from php.ini may be overridden by php_flag settings in the server configuration file or local .htaccess files.
Example #1 Turning off PHP parsing for a directory using .htaccess
php_flag engine off
| Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog |

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.
engine
bool
Turns PHP parsing on or off.
This directive is really only useful in the Apache module
version of PHP. It is used by sites that would like to turn
PHP parsing on and off on a per-directory or per-virtual
server basis. By putting engine off
in the appropriate places in the httpd.conf file, PHP can
be enabled or disabled.
child_terminate
bool
Specify whether PHP scripts may request child process termination on end of request, see also apache_child_terminate().
last_modified
bool
Send PHP scripts modification date as Last-Modified: header for this request.
xbithack
bool
Parse files with executable bit set as PHP regardless of their file ending.
