Not all files on a web server are parsed by PHP. Generally, you need to
specifically tell the web server to use PHP to parse files based on their
extension.
I'm assuming you're using Apache as the web server here, so for IIS or
iPlanet or whatever this may be different...
For Apache, open up the httpd.conf file and look for the AddType directive.
Basically, you're going to want to add lines that look like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Which tells Apache to use PHP on the files that have the extension .php.
So, if you want files with the extension .html or .htm or whatever to parse
your PHP code, add another line with the proper extension:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
etc.
Apache will need to be restarted after you save the .conf file.
IIS works similarly, but it has a fancy-schmancy dialog.
