    What is the relationship between html and php?  When do you want to enbed php within html? By 'enbed' I mean:

    <html>
    <body>
    <?

    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    Think of it like this:
    HTML is the bone structure - without it, nothing will appear.
    PHP is the muscle - it allows you to move HTML; make it dynamic rather than static. It's worth your time to learn.
