You CAN embed PHP in .html files PROVIDED THAT YOUR WEBSERVER HAS ENABLED SUPPORT. Since you do not have access to the webserver then it is up to your provider to enable support. Generally they WILL NOT enable support since the .html extension is reserved for non-scripted HTML content. This means developers can lessen the load on the server by not having regular HTML content pass through a script interpreter. Your needs are in the minority, so it's "suck it in time" where you either remove the dynamic part, change the extension, or start hosting your own webserver.
