kicken Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Your file should be named with a .php extension, not .html. You need to load the file via the web server, not by just double-clicking on it to open it in windows. Open your browser and load the url http://localhost/index.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filip2 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thanks for the solutions. Indeed, the php-code must be in a .php file. It works. What I don't understand is that I find examples on the internet wih php code included in .html files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
