It works fine and display output in firefox browser. But some how, when I add php script, the browser doesn't show the output from php script. It show source code. I try the answer from the forum below, it doesn't work for me.

Is there any way to run php in browser without using apache?

Rename file.html to file.php and check.
I think you write PHP and HTML in a single document, and you use only html extension.

You can't run php codes without install PHP package on your OS. your browser can't understand your php code without this package, So your browser show source code.
After that you can run php file as a page or put it into a html page by iframe html tag.

Open a html document with php

I have a strange setup at the moment (busy with a migration)
I have a 4th Dimension application which calls php scripts (which is our soon to be, only application. Dropping 4D)
This script thats called from 4D needs to open a html file in the browser.
Is this possible?
Iv'e tried something along the lines of
header('Location: ./DischargeLetter.php?id='.urlencode($id));
This passes the html document (report) that I want to open along with the patient id.
calling it in the browser works (obviously hey), but how can I get php to open the browser or a tab and head to that page?
From what I understand you have a command line script in php and you are trying to open a browser on the server?
If you are using the php like a command scripting language you can use http://php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php to call other commands so you can call something like
shell_exec('C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe $url');

How to convert php file into html file

I'm a frontend developer and I'm facing with a problem.
Whenever I'm building a website, I'm using PHP to include the template files, so I get a redundant code.
But when I want to generate this file into an HTML file I open up the PHP file in the browser to copy/paste the code to an HTML file.
How can I make this process to be way much faster, or how could I avoid to do these things manually? Maybe there is a program to do this or something?
You can use a recursive wget.
Say your webserver runs on your localhost, you can run:
wget -r -k localhost
Be careful: wgetdoes not perform a search on which pages are available, it simply looks at links (the <a> tags) and will capture these as well. As long as everything is reachable from the index page (not necessarily on the index page), it will be downloaded.
wget is a linux program, but I guess there is a Windows application with the same name/options as well... As #rkbvkleef points out, it's part of the MinGW package.
Basically your php file (which runs on server, could be local server) contains or generates your HTML code to present on browser. You can simply write HTML code out of tags in a php file and it will work. Or if you want to generate some HTML based on some conditions you are checking inside php or using some variables in php then you can use echo function. It will display whatever string you echo on your webpage.
<?php
$name = "Murtaza";
echo("<h1>Hello ".$name."</h1>");
?>

PhpStorm: Show "Run" output as rendered HTML (in an internal browser)?

Is it possible to view the output of a PHP script in the Run Tool Window as rendered HTML?
I have an application that generates HTML output and currently I need to copy it from the console, save it in an HTML file and open that file in a browser to view the rendered output.
Eclipse PDT has a view called "Web Browser", for instance.
Unfortunately no -- PhpStorm (and any other IDE built on IDEA platform AFAIK) does not have such functionality.
You may submit Feature Request ticket to their Issue Tracker .. but I doubt that it will be implemented any time soon (very limited usage case, as far as I see it right now).
I may suggest to save such output into .html file directly (if you can edit such script -- at least during your debug/test sessions) and open it in browser (then simple "Refresh" in browser will do the job).
If you are executing the PHP file in the console and then manually copying the html code and saving it to a file and finally running it, running this command might help :
php file.php | cat > file.html | google_chrome file.html
Or maybe you can just do :
php file.php | cat > file.html
and refresh the page in the browser.
In this case you won't have to manually copy the code each time.

Breaking up a PHP webpage

So I've created a php webpage with a head section that links to some bootstrap css files and my custom css file. This webpage also has a foot division that links to the necessary jQuery and bootstrap JavaScript files. That's all fine and dandy: I know it works because when I launch this .php in firefox, I can see that Bootstrap has taken control and stylized the text. The problem occurs when I try to break this webpage up into components...
I've created a separate head.html and foot.html which include the same content as before they were broken up, and on the .php page I use the following include statements:
<?php include '../components/head.html'; ?>
<?php include '../components/foot.html'; ?>
Now when I launch the php from my browser, the links clearly haven't worked because the text is not styled. Upon choosing to "view source" of the .php, I see that it has not included the markup from head.html or foot.html, and instead I still see the literal <?php include '';> statements. What have I done wrong? I know the relative filepaths are correct, so perhaps it has something to do with the fact I'm trying to launch the php page locally? Perhaps the components should be .php instead of .html? I really don't know.
Additional info: Win7, tried using notepad++ because Dreamweaver keeps giving me FTP errors every time I ask to "preview in browser"
First you should have a webserver installed along with PHP. You may use xampp or wampp. If you simply open a php file in your browser then it will not execute the PHP statements instead will display the code as it is.
Except for not having a web server along with PHP installed in your system you have done nothing wrong as I see.
The head.html and foot.html can be html files and not .php files that would not be an issue till the file containing the include statment is .php file.

Why doesn't my included file render its contents to screen?

I want to use some php to make simple header/footer files for my webpages. I'm just getting started in web design and I am using Coffee Cup HTML Editor.
Problem is I have this line in my index.php file:
?php include(“includes/header.html”);?>
and nothing shows up even though my header.html file has a menu in it.
Do I need to install something on my machine before PHP code will show anything?
Syntax errors
Firstly, your code snippet contains a syntax error. The opening PHP tag should be <?php and not ?php. So your code should look like this:
<?php include('includes/header.html');?>
Install PHP
Secondly, you need to run PHP scripts on a PHP server like XAMPP for the code to actually be executed.
This assumes header.html either contains text or if it is PHP it echo()s its output.
