Resolved mods-available/php5.conf contains:Summary: The .pht and .phtml file extensions are interpreted by the php processor for default installations of debain and ubuntu. These two extensions are commented out of /etc/mime.types and yet are valid for executing php code.<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[345]?|t|tml)$">

I'm using debian 7.0 with apache,php5 installed:
Linux lab01 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u2 i686 GNU/Linux
lab01:/home/larry# dpkg -l |grep apache
ii apache2 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 i386 Apache HTTP Server metapackage ii apache2-doc 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 all Apache HTTP Server documentation ii apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 i386 Apache HTTP Server - traditional non-threaded model ii apache2-utils 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 i386 utility programs for webservers ii apache2.2-bin 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 i386 Apache HTTP Server common binary files ii apache2.2-common 2.2.22-13+deb7u4 i386 Apache HTTP Server common files ii libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.7-3 i386 Integration of perl with the Apache2 web server ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.4.39-0+deb7u2 i386 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module) ii libapache2-mod-python 3.3.1-9+b3 i386 Python-embedding module for Apache 2
I noticed in /etc/mime.types the handlers are commented out:
lab01:/home/larry> grep "#app" /etc/mime.types
#application/vnd.ms-pki.stl stl #application/x-httpd-eruby rhtml #application/x-httpd-php phtml pht php #application/x-httpd-php-source phps #application/x-httpd-php3 php3 #application/x-httpd-php3-preprocessed php3p #application/x-httpd-php4 php4 #application/x-httpd-php5 php5 #chemical/x-daylight-smiles smi #chemical/x-mif mif
but these extensions are passed to the php handler and executed:
lab01:/var/www# cat 1.pht
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
. . .lab01:/var/www# curl -v http://localhost/1.pht * About to connect() to localhost port 80 (#0) * Trying ::1...

I wouldn't expect this to be the proper behavior, I would assume based on the extensions not being defined in /etc/mime.types you'd just get text/plain back. It seems to be on other Linux distributions I've tested like CentOS and Oracle Linux.
Apache is configured to use /etc/mime.types:
lab01:/etc/apache2# grep mime.types mods-available/mime.conf
TypesConfig /etc/mime.types
# file mime.types for specific file types.
