Is there a specific server setting that can be adjusted to resolve the issue of file() outputting PHP code instead of HTML?

The issue of file() outputting PHP code instead of HTML is likely due to the server not recognizing the PHP code within the file. To resolve this, you can adjust the server settings to ensure that PHP code is properly parsed and executed before being outputted as HTML.

<?php
// Set the correct headers to ensure PHP code is executed and outputted as HTML
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");

// Use include() instead of file() to properly execute PHP code within the file
include('your_file.php');
?>
