将php生成的数据发送到html元素

Question

Lets say I have html page that has 3 elements. Content of those elements should be taken from data base and just put there. Now, I can take data from db, I made my html and css styling, only problem I have is I don't know how to update html page with php data taken from Db. I don't want to use echo since that will give me separate page, I thought about using php to open that html file and rewrite it dynamically but that seems bit extreme. Any suggestion ?

Answer 1

Make the extension of your html page as .php Where you want to put data do something like this -

<?php
    // write your select query
    $val = "data retrieved from php"
?>

Where you want to place it in the DOM, do something like this -

<div><?=$val?></div>
