Look at the source in your browser. You will see the message, including
the <?php echo...
The web server will not (by default) pass pages to the PHP interpreter
unless they have a .php extension. You can include PHP code in html
code, but need to parse them as PHP.
If you're using Apache, you could change the Apache configuration to
pass all pages to the PHP interpreter, but this can cause extra load on
the server due to unnecessarily parsing non-PHP pages as PHP code. It
is also not portable and will not run on hosts where this type of
configuration is not allowed.
Your best bet is to simply change the files you need to include PHP code
in to a .php extension and fix the links on your site. For external
links, configure your web server to do a permanent redirect from the old
page to the new (see your web server configuration for more information
on how to do this).
