Parsing HTML files as PHP

Question

Is this the correct way to parse html files as php?

RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

Saved in a .htaccess file in my root folder?

I am adding in a navigation bar that is called in via php and this would save renaming all my html files!

Thanks
