How does the configuration of the web server impact the execution of PHP code in non-PHP files?

The configuration of the web server impacts the execution of PHP code in non-PHP files by determining whether PHP code within those files will be parsed and executed. To solve this issue, you can configure the web server to treat certain file types, such as HTML or CSS files, as PHP files by adding specific directives to the server configuration. 

<FilesMatch "\.(html|css)$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
