You can execute other files using the include function. This will parse any file with the php tags into php!

**NOTE - Including files from the webroot that are non-php means that people can gain access to the script in question, without it being executed. I highly Recommend that you don't do this in most situations.

This would have to do with how your server handles requests. The server if probably configured to pass requests with the .php extension to php. You could modify your server configuration to pass other requests to the php parser as well.

Since I don't know what type of server you're using, I can't say how to modify the config.

exec() will execute an external program, if that's what you mean. You can capture the output, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "into the PHP engine."

http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

Edit: If you mean running other file extensions as PHP, you can edit .htaccess to specify the file type. For example, to run .html as PHP:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
