PHP Script Not Working in HTML File

Why php tag is not working in html file?

Your web server will server the HTML page as is. It will only parse the HTML as best as it can. If you rename your page with a PHP extension, the web server will parse it using the PHP interpreter and that is when PHP will be interpreted. Also as Fred points out in the comments you can tell Apache to treat HTML as PHP.

PHP script not working in HTML file

XAMPP already includes PHP, but unless you end the script name with .php it is unlikely to be processed by the PHP engine.

PHP inside HTML doesn't work

You should make sure that following are given:

• PHP on your server

• Files have to end with ".php"

• Use open Tag <?php and not <?

Then it should work.

For a definite solution you should provide further information.

Why is my PHP Code not Working , HTML website?

When you load the pages into your browser via file://, the PHP script will not be executed by the PHP interpreter.

You need a webserver running on your machine - e.g. Apache or IIS - which is configured to serve PHP files, and then you need to go to the page in your browser like http://localhost/contact.html so that when you submit the form, it would end up posting to http://localhost/column-form-handler.php (instead of file://column-form-handler.php or whatever).

Doing this means that the webserver will pass requests for .php files to the PHP interpreter, which will execute them, and pass the result of executing the code (as opposed to just the raw source code) back to the webserver which then returns it to the client (i.e. browser).

PHP code is not being executed, but the code shows in the browser source code

Sounds like there is something wrong with your configuration, here are a few things you can check:

1. Make sure that PHP is installed and running correctly. This may sound silly, but you never know. An easy way to check is to run php -v from a command line and see if returns version information or any errors.

2. Make sure that the PHP module is listed and uncommented inside of your Apache's httpd.conf This should be something like LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" in the file. Search for LoadModule php, and make sure that there is no comment (;) in front of it.

3. Make sure that Apache's httpd.conf file has the PHP MIME type in it. This should be something like AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. This tells Apache to run .php files as PHP. Search for AddType, and then make sure there is an entry for PHP, and that it is uncommented.

4. Make sure your file has the .php extension on it, or whichever extension specified in the MIME definition in point #3, otherwise it will not be executed as PHP.

5. Make sure you are not using short tags in the PHP file (<?), these are not enabled on all servers by default and their use is discouraged. Use <?php instead (or enable short tags in your php.ini with short_open_tag=On if you have code that relies on them).

6. Make sure you are accessing your file over your webserver using an URL like http://localhost/file.php not via local file access file://localhost/www/file.php

And lastly check the PHP manual for further setup tips.
