Answer 1

In order to display PHP, or run embededded PHP, you need to tell PHP to look inside the HTM & HTML files.

You need to have a file in the root folder of the HTML directory called .htaccess, which is a simple text file, with the following line:

#AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

This lets the PHP compiler know to compile the php when displaying the HTML page.
