I've got a simple .php file with Rock, Paper, Scissors game (some schoolwork) that tracks your score and a .html file with buttons to choose from R/P/S.

Score is tracked via session variable, is there a simple way to pass the value of this variable and display it on the html page?

You should generate your HTML page from PHP file too. That's how php works. That way you can print out PHP variables. HTML is no programming language - it's just markup language...like ...hmmm..XML.

You can add addhandler in .htaccess for html files to treat it as php file, see example: 

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

but instead you can, avoid above and change the file extension from .html to .php you can pass it as query string GET, see example below:

http://example.com/myphppage.php?key=value

or you can access session by adding session_start() at starting of page

    *"The answer is NO. You cannot get PHP Variables in HTML"* - That's not entirely true. You can instruct Apache to treat `.html|.htm` files as PHP files. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 11 '15 at 14:22

    Sidenote: that's not my downvote. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 11 '15 at 14:22
  • @Fred-ii- Thanks for the hint, answer updated accordingly! no prob :) – kamal pal Jun 11 '15 at 14:28
  • You're welcome, you should have marked your edit about treating html files as php *as an edit*. People who visit your answer may think why your answer was downvoted. – Funk Forty Niner Jun 11 '15 at 14:29

    Usually when making a mistake, you mark an edit as an edit, and possibly using the `code/text` tags on the originally posted code/text that you may have a made a mistake. That tells the community that, well.. you made a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes, even I do at times. If we didn't make them, we wouldn't have learned anything, *right?* ;-) *cheers* – Funk Forty Niner Jun 11 '15 at 14:34

If you save your .html file as a .php file, you can do this quite easily by adding

<?php echo $_SESSION['score']; ?>

into your HTML. For example:

<p><?php echo $_SESSION['score']; ?></p>
