Not at all.
Assuming your page is on a provider's server you do not have access to
the server configuration which you would have to change to get the
server to run .html files through PHP.
This is undesirable behaviour because the server would have to process
all .html pages without PHP code through PHP, not just your page. This
puts a lot of additional stress on a high profile webserver.
Why don't you rename your file to index.php? Most servers are configured
to look for an index.php if there is no index.html or index.htm.
Bye!
