file omg.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>:)</title></head>
<body>
<?php
echo 'Hello world';
?>
</body>
</html>
It's supposed to create a webpage which prints Hello world
, but it doesn't print anything. What's wrong with it?
PHP is not HTML.
You need to run your PHP program through a PHP interpreter to output HTML.
This is most commonly performed using:
Other options are available:
you can't have php code in an html file..
Make it php file,, so that it can be parsed by server running, most probably apache..
When the server sees a .html
as file extension, it simply sends the file to client, which will be interpreted by browser..To run php script, you need file to be .php
extension, so that server interpretes it..
You file must have .php
extension in order to work.
However, there's a trick to tell Apache to parse HTML files as PHP, if you really want to use .html
files as PHP ones. Read more here.
That's not just HTML code, there's PHP code there as well. If the file is called omg.html
then the PHP interpreter might not be parsing it. The convention is to name PHP files with the .php
extension. You could configure your PHP interpreter to also interpret HTML files, but it's non-standard.
Judging from the question in general, I wonder if a PHP interpreter is involved at all. The file alone can't process PHP code, you need an interpreter. What setup are you using?
Must be run through a server with php. And must have a .php extension to work
save it as .php and check if the file is under apache root where php interpreter is installed
the file extension must have .php
file name should result as "omg.php"
