<?php in .html files ??

[test]

sorry newbie:
1. is it that <?php (stuff) ?> will NOT work in my index.html file ?

I can get <?php stuff to work in a .php file,
but its ignored when in a .html file.

This is just normal right ?
sorry, thanks

Yes, very normal.

But you can configure your HTTP server to pass whetever pages you want
to the PHP engine.
Check "AddType" for Apache's httpd.conf

For example:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html .script

will serve php from files ending in .php, .phtml, .html, and .script

Will only work if the webserver has been told to send .html files to PHP.
