You need to tell Apache to parse .html files for PHP code. Apache, by default, won't do this.

Search in your apache config file for


AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
or
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

These are the lines that tell Apache to parse your .php files for PHP code. Add the following "new line" to turn on parsing for .html files


AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html #new line

or if you're using AddType for some reason


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html #newline
