    How to include PHP file in HTML

    I'm trying to make a HTML page read a external PHP file with a variable:

    File:

    Code:
    <?php
	$email = "test@test.com"
?>
    HTML:

    Code:
    <html>
	<head>
	</head>
	<body>
		<?php include ( "File1.php" ); ?>
		The e-mail in the file is: <?php echo $_POST [ 'email' ] ?>
	</body>
</html>
    It results:

    "The e-mail in the file is:"

    Nothings more, can anyone help me in this?

    @Edit

    Sorry for the wrong area, can any moderator move it?

      moved to PHP forum.

      you have a misconception is about $_POST and include.

      in the $_POST array are variables that are passed from the requesting user agent via the HTTP POST method.

      include simply imports a file into the current script.

      if you resolve the include in your previous code, it would look like
      Code:
      <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php
    $email = "test@test.com"; 
        ?>
        The e-mail in the file is: <?php echo $_POST [ 'email' ] ?>
    </body>
</html>
      I think that should clear up things a bit.
