BTW, If anyone ever comes up with a solution for this, please do let me know...
As i said, .html files are plain text. Apache can't guess in which files php blocks are and in which not (Someone maybe put php blocks in .jpg graphic files too, who knows

)
But XAMPP Apache is configurated, that just .php files contain php code so that this are the only files sended through the php interpreter.
As i said too, there is a not recommend way to teach Apache to send even all .html files through the php interpreter too.
I have described it here for example:
