File extension when mixing PHP and HTML


Go to solution Solved by Barand,

Suppose a file contains a form with action=""

The HTML form self evaluates with PHP that is in the same file.

Perhaps the HTML includes PHP tags for error messages to be displayed (which I've seen in HTML files).

Does it matter whether the file itself is stored as a PHP file versus an HTML file?

Yes.

PHP code in an .html file will not be processed.

However, a .php file does not need to contain any PHP code; it can just contain HTML and will function as an .html file.
