How to run php in a java web application project in NetBeans

Question

I have a java web application created in NetBeans from 'File-->New Project-->Java Web-->Web Application'.
I have Tomcat as the server. In my computer I can run php without any problem in a NetBeans php project, or in XAMPP.
But I want to run php commands in a java web application project. I tried by adding this code to index.jsp file

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>JSP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php echo 'php code here'; ?>
        <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    </body>
</html>

It doesn't print 'php code here' string but print 'Hello World!' string.
I tried renaming file name index.jsp to index.php (And also change the name in web.xml file). But it still gives me the same output

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Use <?php ?> tags instead of <? ?> tags. The parser may be confused. — Matt

And make sure your server is set up to interpret .jsp pages as "may contain PHP code". — Matt

sorry it was a mistake. It is <?php ?>.I changed it.but same result. What do you mean by "And make sure your server is set up to interpret .jsp pages as "may contain PHP code" — Roshanck

Check your Apache configuration (httpd.conf). On the line that contains "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php", add .jsp to the end

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .jsp

And whatever other pages you want to be interpreted using PHP (.html, .htm, etc.).

it still doesn't work. There wasn't "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" in my httpd.conf file. I added it as "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .jsp". then restart the server. but still doesn't work

@Roshanck Is php installed on your machine?

I think so. I can run php netbeans projects.I can run .php files in XAMPP server. that means I have php installed in my machine right? :)

What happens when you navigate to a locally hosted php page in your browser?

It display the output. As a example if i have a file name index.php and <?php echo 'php code here'; ?> inside the index.php file. When I navigate to localhost/index.php file, it display 'php code here' as the output
