^ this ">" mark is probably a typo (because if you really
used it here, then you'd get the value stuff outside of
the input field).

Which means that your webserver does not consider the document
to be PHP document and does not put in into PHP engine.
Maybe you have to change ".html" extension to ".php" or
maybe turn on the PHP module in the webserver.
