Is renaming an HTML file to a PHP file the best practice for executing PHP code in an HTML file?

Renaming an HTML file to a PHP file is a common practice to execute PHP code within an HTML file. This allows the server to recognize and parse the PHP code embedded within the file. By renaming the file to a .php extension, the server will process the PHP code before sending the output to the client's browser. 

<?php
// Your PHP code here
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>PHP in HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1><?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?></h1>
</body>
</html>
