You can put php inline with html provided the php itself is correct. Your HTML code itself should also be valid, including HTML tags, doctype, etc.
Also, just a note - HTTP is not a coding language it's a protocol.

Yes, you can build PHP pages like that. Not every application in the world uses a templating system like vBulletin. However, a lot do due to the ability to easily manipulate output.

Moreover you can code like this:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

But it results in kinda messy code.
