When Can PHP be mixed inline w/ HTML?

[one man army]

I have looked for a definitive answer for this and have not found one.
"sometimes, when it works" is not getting very far in designing a
solution. Maybe the question should be "WHERE can PHP be mixed inline in
the file?"

for example, a file called xxx.html, marked
DocType -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN

the server can execute PHP, I am using PHP v.4.4.0

thanks

Anywhere.

Of course, you need that the resulting parsed file makes sense, unlike
(e.g.):

<html<? echo 'Hello, world!'?>>

Basically it can be mixed anyplace in the file.

You just need to set your Apache configuration to process the pages
through the PHP parser.

Your file needs to have the file extension of ".php" if it is
".anythingelse" it won't work.

The answer is very simple: when PHP code and HTML are out into a file
with *.php extension.
for example, a file called xxx.html, marked
DocType -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN

Normally, HTTP servers are configured not to treat *.html files as
those that contain no executable code. So if you put PHP code into an
*.html file, it will not be executed.

Wrong. You can configure your web server software to
process .php, .html, .shtml, .whatever files through the PHP engine.

(However, this is obviously not the default, and newbies should name their
files with the .php extension in order to avoid confusions)

The reply below is not entirely correct. Files with the .html extension
(or any other extension for that matter) can contain PHP code if they
are called as an <em>include</em> file.

The <?= ?> syntax doesn't work for <?php ?>.
