Yes it is possible. If by "strict PHP file" you mean one with a ".php" extension then your webserver configuration should send that to the PHP engine before sending it to the browser. (If you are seeing the PHP source then you have not configured this). With an ".html" file it usually does not (as they do not normally contain PHP code). You can configure your webserver to send ".html" files to the PHP engine if you wish to. The disadvantage is that there is more processing as all ".html" files will have to be parsed.I work with Windows... when I have tested it I do go through the web browser...If I go to a strict PHP file it all works... However, the PHP book I am reading shows also embedding php in an HTML file the same way that you do javascript, is that not possible?
You have to tell your webserver to do this as PHP is executed on the server. In the JavaScript case, the server does nothing but send it to the browser. It is the browser (client side) that interprets the JavaScript.
