happy with that but I suppose it is for the good of the web, otherwise we

with apache, you can either go into the configuration files httpd.conf and
srm.conf (for this particular thing, it will be httpd.conf) or even simpler:
create a file called .htaccess at the root of one of your directory you want
the change to happen and write:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html

and all .html files will be interpreted as php

it goes the same with all file extensions, you just have to mess around.
Unfortunately I don't know the initial line for coldfusion, but here's a
fake exemple:
AddType application/x-httpd-coldfusion .cfm .html
