Can you use PHP in an HTML, CSS, JS template?
No you cannot! @arhanansari2009 is incorrect! You will need to create a PHP Web Server Repl in order to use PHP with HTML, CSS & JS. The reason for this is PHP is a server side/back-end language, while HTML, CSS & JS is statically hosted on the front-end.

You can use the <php> tag to use PHP in an HTML File.
This is an example of the usage of the <php> tag:
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

So I’ll create a project with PHP Webserver template and move my HTML, CSS, and JS code to it?

@MattDESTROYER … this time you are wrong. php can be embedded in html these days thanks to the trend of mixing stuff that were not supposed to be mixed … so it is possible, but should be done? I would say no. PHP place is in the back end.

No, the poster is asking about the HTML, CSS & JS template, this will not work since this template is statically hosted. PHP is purely server side so you will need to use the PHP Web Server template to use PHP.

You are actually right, the html is actually a back end script and needs to run as back end and not as an html page.
