Answer 2

save below code with .php extension not .html

&lt;HTML&gt;

&lt;HEAD&gt;

  &lt;TITLE&gt; New Document &lt;/TITLE&gt;

  

&lt;/HEAD&gt;

&lt;?php $name1=&quot;any_name&quot;; $sal=&quot;55000&quot;; ?&gt;

&lt;BODY&gt;

  &lt;table&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;

&lt;td&gt;this is your name= &lt;?=$name?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Your salary= &lt;?=$sal?&gt; &lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;/BODY&gt;

&lt;/HTML&gt;

Answer 3

example:  your site.php

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;yoursite&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;Hi, welcome to mysite&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this is a paragraph&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;?php

     if(something)

     {

?&gt;

HTML to be executed by if statement

&lt;?php

     }

?&gt;

&lt;?php

// alternative way to embed stuff in php

     echo &#039;any text&#039;

     echo $varialbe

?&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

If you are writing this site on your computer it helps to have a server capable of php inorder to be able to view it.  WAMP server is a nice piece of software for developing websites on your computer.  Also, instead of using &lt;?php to for you starting php tag you can use short php tags.  Instead of

&lt;?php

     $variable = &#039;random text&#039;

     echo $variable

?&gt;

you could write

&lt;?php

     $varialble  // some variable that you previously defined

?&gt;

and reference it later with a short tag

&lt;?= $varialbe ?&gt;

this would echo the text stored in $varialbe without typing &lt;?php and echo.
