I am having issues with an old php project that used AddHandler directive into .htaccess file.

It have the following line at start of the file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php

It seems to be a necessary line in production, but in my dev environment I cannot set up the handler properly for various reasons. It result in not accessing files and paths correctly in dev env.

There exists a way to check if the handler is available before adding it?

Something where semantics is like:

<IfHandler application/x-httpd-php70>
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php
</IfHandler>
