What are the key differences between PHP and HTML?

PHP is a server-side scripting language used for creating dynamic web pages, while HTML is a markup language used for creating the structure of a web page. PHP allows for embedding dynamic content and executing server-side scripts, while HTML is static and mainly used for defining the layout and content of a webpage. To combine PHP and HTML, you can use PHP code within HTML files by enclosing the PHP code within <?php ?> tags.

php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// PHP code here
echo "Hello, World!";
?>

</body>
</html>
