i installed wamp on windows 11. i tested to see if php was installed by using command phpinfo and this worked. when i attempt to use php in html document the php echo statement does not work. i simply get the line of code (shows the echo statement). i have looked at at the php.in file and the httpd.conf file and all appears to be set properly. I dont know where else to look as all help searches point me to those files and the stated configurations look correct.
thanks for any help with this

That sounds incorrect. PHP code in some HTML file would not execute.
In short:
- HTML is what your web browser consumes.
- PHP runs back on said server, not in the web browser.

I'm putting on my Captain Obvious hat, but could it be that you are using .html instead of .php for your file extension?
test.html
<?php echo 'test.html'; ?>
Will display a blank page. When you view the source code, you will see the echo statement.
test.php
<?php echo 'test.php'; ?>
Will display test.php and the source code will also show test.php
