How can i run php on html?

Yes, you can run PHP in an HTML page.

I have successfully executed PHP code in my HTML files for many years. [For the curious, this is because I have over 8,000 static HTML files created by me and others over the last 20 years and I didn't want to lose search engine ranking by changing them and, more importantly, I have too many other things to work on].

I am not an expert -- below is what I've tried and what works for me. Please don't ask me to explain it.

Everything below involves adding a line or two to your .htaccess file.

Here is what one host [ //simolyhosting.net ] support did for me in 2008 -- but it no longer works for me now.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .htm .html

That solution appears to be deprecated now, though it might work for you.

Here's what's working for me now:

AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .htm .html

[This page has PHP code that executes properly with the above solution -- //mykindred.com/bumstead/steeplehistory.htm ]

Below are other solutions I found -- they are NOT MINE:

I'm seeing this across many servers I've recently upgraded to EA4. Using cPanel Apache handlers or adding this directly in to .htaccess [same as cPanel does through gui add handlers]:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html

AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .html

Open a text editor such as wordpad, notepad, nano, etc. and add the following line:

AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .html .htm

If you want to use PHP 5.4 instead of PHP 5.2 then use the following line instead:

AddHandler x-mapp-php6 .html .htm

To run HTML using FastCGI/PHP, try adding this code to the .htaccess file for the directory the script is in:

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler fcgid-script .html
FCGIWrapper /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php5 .html

You can add additional lines for other file extensions if needed.

If we want to use PHP in the Html document, then we have to follow the steps which are given below. Using these simple steps, we can easily add the PHP code.

Step 1: Firstly, we have to type the Html code in any text editor or open the existing Html file in the text editor in which we want to use the PHP.

Step 2: Now, we have to place the cursor in any tag of the tag where we want to add the code of PHP. And, then we have to type the start and end tag of PHP.

Step 3: After then, we have to type the code of PHP between the tags of PHP.

Step 4: When we successfully add the PHP code, then we have to save the Html file and then run the file in the browser.
