What role does mod re_write play in executing PHP code in .htm files?

Mod re_write allows for rewriting URLs in a more user-friendly format. To execute PHP code in .htm files, you can use mod re_write to internally redirect requests for .htm files to a PHP script. This way, the PHP script can handle the processing and execution of the PHP code within the .htm file. ```apache RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.php [NC] ```
