PHP HTML Embed PHP Tags within a .HTML Document Is This Possible?

Question

Embedding HTML within .PHP files is one of the primary functionalities of PHP, but is it possible to do it the other way round?

I mean, embedding PHP tags, , within a .HTML document?? Is this sort of coding possible?

Any suggestions welcome.

What about if wampserver is the current, offline server? Is there a similar file to edit? — Donal.Lynch.Msc

With Wampserver and apache on Windows, find file httpd.conf and add line AddType application/x-httpd-php .html You can now mix PHP tags within your .HTML files. — Donal.Lynch.Msc

Add this to your .htaccess file and HTML files will be handled like PHP files allowing you put PHP in HTML files.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

If you configure your server properly you can put php code in almost any kind of file.

If you are using apache, just add this line in the httpd.conf file

"AddType application/x-httpd-php .html"

Now you can embed php tags in .html files and they will be parsed correctly
