No PHP code will work when it is in a .html file - This is because
apache does not know to parse it, it needs to be in a .php file

In your apache configuration file, make sure you have the following entries

LoadModule php4_module
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
