Php code not working, and turns into HTML comment

Question

I have a file "index.html". And a code into it

<?php echo "Hello world"; ?>

But in browser I can see:

<!--<?php echo "Hello world"; ?>-->

I use Microsoft-IIS/7.5server, so I cant use .htaccess file.

Why do you need .html? It won't work in a .html file because it's not HTML. — Albzi

Save your file as index.php instead. HTML doesn't read PHP.

Edit: Try to change the home url then. Check this out:

https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/defaultdocument

You can store your file with .php extension and user rewrite module in iis to link .html file to .php file that you store. commonly for SEO Using this method.

// This is a one-line c++ style commenting

Example

<?php
// This is a single line commment.
$comment = 1;

/* This is a multi line comment
       yet another line of comment */
$comment = "many lines";

?>
