How to embed PHP code in HTML document [was:Dreamweaver CC 2017]

I'm trying to embed PHP code inside an HTML page with a .html file extension. If I look at the local file using MAMP with a browser, it displays correctly. However, Dreamweaver refuses to parse the PHP content properly when it's located in an HTML file. Is there someway to enable this, like modifying a .htaccess file on a real server to accomplish the same thing?

    Dreamweaver will only help you with PHP when the file is appropriately named with a PHP extension. You can then change the extension in the .htaccess file by adding

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php

    When you access index.html the system will look for a file called index.php

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
