A very basic question:

I’m creating a WordPress Page Template.

I have a file: pagetemplatename.php

Obviously the file has .php on the end of the name: Is everything in this file php code? Or can CSS and other code go in this file?

Your file could look like this:

 <html>
   <body>
     <?php some php code ?>
     <h1>test</h1>
     <?php some more php?>
   </body>
 </html>

The entire file could be php, or you could indicate where you want php to be executed using the <?php ... /> tags.
