Including php in html

This is an HTML scrip that I created. I am trying to include a php script that contains a variable named $url which has a picture url in it. When I echo the var out, it displays nothing. What am I doing wrong?

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">



</head>
<body>


<?php 

include("script.php"); 

?>


<img src= "<?php echo $url; ?>">

</body>
</html>

Usually your server is not configured to execute PHP code in HTML files.

The files with name .php are handled specially by your web server, i.e., executed as PHP programs.

It goes like this:

Browser asks for file
            |
            v
Server looks at found file
    |               |
    v               v
  .html ?         .php ?
    |               |
    v               v
 send it to     give it to
 the browser    PHP and send,
 as-is          what returns

You must rename your .html file to .php in order for PHP to work in the server's default configuration.

Since in the script.php you have the var $url equal to a url. I guess you dont support php. You should install xamp or wamp for localhost.

To test it change the code to this 

<img src= "<?php echo "http://www.google.com//images/srpr/logo3w.png"; ?>">

and check if this is working, if not simple install xamp it will install php, apache and mysql :)

Provide the full URL.

In the included file, change to:

$url = "http://www.google.com//images/srpr/logo3w.png";
