title: PHP gets commented out in HTML
body: <p>I created a simple HTML webpage that includes the following PHP code in the HTML code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php echo date('l, F jS, Y'); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run the HTML page and I view the source code it shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--?php echo date('l, F jS, Y'); ?--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? Why is it being commented out?</p>
  
  <p>The HTML webpage file has the extension .html.</p>
