I can’t use PHP in my HTML pages. For example, index.html. I’ve tried using both:
<? contents ?>
and
<?php contents ?>
Neither of these work. My server offers PHP, and when I use a the .php extension, it works properly. Is this a problem or do I have to change the preferences in php.ini?
You can’t run PHP in .html files because the server does not recognize that as a valid PHP extension unless you tell it to. To do this you need to create a .htaccess file in your root web directory and add this line to it:
This will tell Apache to process files with a .htm or .html file extension as PHP files.
