      To embed HTML within PHP, you can mix HTML and PHP code together within the same file. PHP is a server-side scripting language that allows you to generate dynamic HTML content based on conditions, variables, and other PHP operations.

      Method 1: Mixing HTML and PHP Directly

      php
      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html lang="en">
      <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <title>PHP with HTML Example</title>
      </head>
      <body>

      <?php
      // PHP code starts here
      $name = "John Doe";
      $age = 30;
      ?>

      <h1>Welcome, <?php echo $name; ?>!</h1>
      <p>You are <?php echo $age; ?> years old.</p>

      </body>
      </html>

      In this example:

      • The file starts with HTML markup (<!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head>, <title>, etc.).
      • PHP code is embedded within <?php ?> tags. Inside these tags, you can write PHP variables, loops, conditions, and other PHP logic.
      • PHP variables like $name and $age are defined and then echoed directly within HTML tags (<h1>, <p>) to dynamically generate content.

      Method 2: Using PHP to Include HTML Files

      You can also include separate HTML files within PHP scripts using include or require functions. This method is useful for separating concerns and reusing HTML templates across multiple PHP files.

      Example:

      1. HTML Template (template.html):
        html
        <!-- template.html -->
        <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html lang="en">
        <head>

        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title>PHP Template Example</title>
        </head>
        <body>
        <h1>Welcome, <?php echo $name; ?>!</h1>
        <p>You are <?php echo $age; ?> years old.</p>
        </body>
        </html>
      2. PHP Script (index.php):
        php
        <?php
        $name = "Jane Doe";
        $age = 25;
        // Include the HTML template
        include 'template.html';
        ?>

      In this setup:

      • The PHP variables $name and $age are defined in index.php.
      • The include 'template.html'; statement includes the template.html file’s content within the PHP script, effectively mixing PHP-generated data with static HTML content.

      Benefits:

      • Dynamic Content: PHP allows you to generate HTML dynamically based on server-side data or conditions.
      • Separation of Concerns: Using includes or separating HTML templates from PHP logic promotes code organization and maintainability.
      • Integration: PHP seamlessly integrates with HTML, making it suitable for building dynamic web pages and applications.
