PhP not embedding in html

Question

I'm trying to get a use php in an html box, but it isn't working. Here's what i'm putting in: (there's some javascript too)

<?php
header('content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
$data = json_encode($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . $data . ');';
?>
<script>
var myip="<?php echo $data ?>"
alert(myip)
</script>

And here's what's appearing on the website:

<?php header('content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8'); 
$data = json_encode($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); 
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . $data . ');'; ?>

Well, that and an alert box that says:

<?php echo $data ?>

So none of the PHP is being interpreted by the server? This probably has nothing to do with your code and more to do with the configuration of your server. Do you have PHP installed? Does your filename end with `.php`? — Tim, Sep 25 '15 at 13:24
Oops. I did forget to use the .php extension. Thanks! *facepalm* — Dudeguy21, Sep 25 '15 at 13:48

You have to put a semicolon:

<?php echo $data; ?>

You want to put this into a textbox?

Do this:

<input type="text" id="someid" name="somename" value="<?php echo $data; ?>" />

Are you sure that in $data is anything?

that shouldn't be necessary – JoSSte Sep 25 '15 at 13:31
I always put there a semicolon. To avoid any problems. – xdevs23 Sep 25 '15 at 13:51
If this *was* the problem, the whole thing would fail with a SYNTAX ERROR; since it doesn't do that, it's not the problem. – deceze Sep 25 '15 at 13:54
Well, that's right, but I do it always to avoid problems. – xdevs23 Sep 25 '15 at 13:55
