Unable to use HTLM tags in my pho code
Hello I need someone to help me here. I use sublime text as my editor and use it to build my HTLM and php codes. When I write html or css code it works fine. When I write php codes as well, am able to build it and it works fine also. But when I use HTLM tags like <p> or <br> etc it doesn’t work fine, instead it see the html tags as strings and prints them in the output. I need to know what am doing wrong. Thanks

You can't simply mix html (that's not a language) and PHP (that must be compiled) in an html file. PHP can be used to generate html that your Browser interprets. But it has no glue what to do with PHP.

Cause your result is not valid html missing HTML tags, and a Body (and a HTML Header).

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test1</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$Num1 = 40;
$Num2 = 50;
echo "$Num1 <br>";
echo "$Num2";
?>
</body>
</html>

Your are writing with echo to an Output Stream of your Browser, not the DOM of your Webpage.

simply copied my .php file to the HTDOCS folder of my server and then opened the file from the webpage using localhost.filename.php
