Processing PHP in html-files using xampp

Question

Hi there,
anyone got any tips for me on how to get xampp (win10) to execute PHP-code inside a html-file? The file is located in the “htdocs”-folder.
Files saved with the extension .php are executed.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Answer 1

Your html-files need also a .php extension. You just write your php code inside of <?php ... ?>. You can also include php files in here.
Just rename index.html to index.php

"Clowns.." is a quote from Simpsons😂😂

Answer 4

Thank you very much, although I do not at all agree that clowns are funny.
Was hoping to keep the extension so VSC would keep highlighting the html-syntax.
