    <title>PHP Embedded in HTML</title>
</head>
<body>

    <h1>Welcome to our website</h1>

    <?php
        // PHP code embedded in HTML

Inline PHP code

Inline PHP code refers to the practice of including short sections of PHP directly within the HTML content of a web page. This is often done for smaller, specific tasks or dynamic content that doesn’t require a separate code block. In inline PHP, you use the tags to enclose the PHP code directly within the HTML.

Mixing PHP and HTML

PHP code is normally mixed with HTML tags. PHP is an embedded language, meaning that you can jump between raw HTML code and PHP without sacrificing readability.
In order to embed PHP code with HTML, the PHP must be set apart using PHP start and end tags.
