inline PHP in HTML

Question

I have used inline PHP in HTML, the file extension is .php and it does not seem to work in both cases

<li><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>index.php">Home<?php echo "home";?></a></li>

where $link is defined as

<?php
 $link="pages/";
?>

Thank you in advance.

The link does not open `http://localhost:8080/mysite/%3C?php%20echo%20$link;%20?%3Eindex.php` — Zain Malik, Aug 16 '18 at 12:59
Based on your comment, your PHP isn't being executed. What webserver are you using? — iainn, Aug 16 '18 at 13:02
