PHP include doesn't work in HTML

Question

The following html does not produce any response from the included php file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
Here is some text. <br>
<?php include 'hello.php'; ?>
</body>
</html>

The hello.php file contains the ubiquitous <?php echo "Hello world!"; ?>

Additional info:

The line of text displays properly.

PHP is installed and running properly. A call to from within the source directory produces the expected config data.

The html document is named test.php

error_reporting(E_ALL); produces no additional data.

Does your html file have a `.php. extension? Do you have error reporting turned on? — John Conde

error_reporting(E_ALL); add this line as well ini_set("display_errors", 1); — Jelle Keizer

Which web server are you using?? Have to enabled server-includes on the server?? — Sachin Dhir

I've tested here, and it worked fine. Appears to be something related to your config/environment/web-server. — Rael Gugelmin Cunha

at the end or first of your html page add this o see what is disrupting:

<?php error_reporting(-1); ?>

and this for your include:

<?php include("file.php"); ?>
