Why might this not work. I have an html doc:
HTML
<head>
<h1><?php include "test.php"; echo "$intro" ?></h1>
</head>
PHP
<?php
$intro = "Welcome to PHP."
?>
Nothing shows up on my page... I just running it from my desktop right now.

Does it work if you try to echo something that isn't being imported? If so, I'd say it's in import problem. – Carcigenicate Feb 28 '17 at 21:24

Because PHP is a server side language which requires a webserver configured to work with PHP. Opening a file which uses PHP in your browser directly will not work, as there is no PHP interpreter to "execute" the PHP code. – Joe Feb 28 '17 at 21:25

A couple of things to help you:
- h1 tags go in the body, not the header
- make sure you are serving this file with the php exe
- no need to wrap $intro with quotes

well are you running it from a local server?
if you are not running on an actual in house server and your pages don't end in .php it will never work. PHP needs a server to work
