The "standard" installation of PHP on Apache *does not* make Apache call
PHP for files with an "html" extension. To make the PHP embedded in
..html work you have to reconfigure the webserver. If you switch server
all your .html pages will stop working until you reconfigure the new
server.
So it's better to make certain pages where PHP is needed have a .php
extension :)
On the other hand, if you have a .php file with no php inside, the
server will call PHP without needing to, making the page (and the
server) slower and wasting resources.

There's php inside, so save as index.php

Ugh!
You can also do
<?php
echo <<<HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>title text</title>
</head>
<body>
You name is $name
</body>
</html>
HTML;
?>
and save as foobar.php
