Can't run PHP script in html file

Question

I am running my Apache server with MAMP on my macbook pro. I am trying to run a php script in my HTML code, but neither my visual studio code or Apache server are recognizing the code.

The code in question is:

<?php // Create a login/logout link:
                            if (isset($_SESSION['CustNum'])) {
                                echo '<a href="logout.php">Logout</a>';
                            } else {
                                echo '<a href="login.php">Login</a>';
                            }
                            ?></li>

                        }
                        ?></li>

Is there something i need to configure before I am able to do this?

When you view HTML source, what do you see.... "code"? – Funk Forty Niner Feb 26 '20 at 19:38 — Funk Forty Niner, Feb 26 '20 at 19:38
Where did you place the code? Is it in the web root? – Jay Blanchard Feb 26 '20 at 19:39 — Jay Blanchard, Feb 26 '20 at 19:39
Make sure that your file extension is .php and not .htm – adilbo Feb 26 '20 at 21:58 — adilbo, Feb 26 '20 at 21:58

A quick test of your setup would be to create a new php file with the following:

<?php
echo 'Version: ' . phpversion();
?>

Save this file with a .php extension and try to access it from your browser.
