The issue is that the web server will not treat each file it handles as 
a php code, it will only look for files that ends with php, send those 
to a PHP-engine which parses the file and executes the php code and then 
hands back the output to the web server which then sends the output to 
the end user (the visitor to your web page).

It's possible to allow .html/.htm files the same way, but then you need 
the administration rights of the server, as you are using a shared 
service, it means you don't have administrator privileges and those you 
can't do the change.

So this leads to the only thing you can do, rename your files so that 
they are called .php instead of .html/.htm.

If you don't want to rename files, then you need to look at javascript 
solution for displaying last modified document time.
