Why I can not embed my php code in html code

Question

Sorry guys this is probably pretty simple, but i've been up way too late now. I have a basic html page and when i try to put any php in the body it reads it as a comment.

<html>
<body>
.... ....
</p>
</div>
<div id='result' class='ui-widget' style='width:70%;margin:0 auto'>
</div>
</div>
<?php 
include(WEB_ROOT.'/template/footer.php'); 
?>

</body>
</html>

Is there anything wrong?

I save the footer as footer.php and by using echo WEB_ROOT the same can be seen — Keannylen

do you get an error if you replace the include with require? — Sven Koschnicke

I find out the root cause, I use a template() to construct the html file and this function use echo file_content as return. Apparently wrong. — Keannylen

You must use a server like Apache which interprets the page. What's more, it should have a .php extension.

Yes, I use Apache server and view the html from Chrome browser, if I replace the "include " with "echo xxx", it works.

And you can see your code in the HTML code of the page as a comment ?

Problem of extension ! .PHP not .HTML ! The opposite is correct ! including html in php page
