This question already has an answer here:
Good afternoon,
So I met a problem, I can't display PHP file results in HTML.
As example I have php file named hi.php that contains code like this:
<?PHP
$hi="Hello!";
echo "$hi";
?>
And I have index.html that contains body like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php include "taskai.php" ?>
</body>
</html>
And I get a blank page... No results displayed from hi.php. I'm working on localhost, xampp. May this be the problem, or I have something wrong?
</div>
Two problems:
your HTML file should have the .php extension for it to understand PHP code change index.html to index.php
you are not using include to include the code onto your HTML
Do it this way:
index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
include "taskai.php"
?>
</body>
</html>
Create a file index.php with that content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
$hi="Hello!";
echo "$hi";
?>
</body>
</html>
That should give you an idea of how things work.
There obviously are endless variants. For example you can also do this:
File index.php:
<?php
$hi="Hello!";
echo <<<EOT
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
{$hi}
</body>
</html>
EOT;
