Installed XAMPP to write in PHP. Everything works if you run the .php file. But, when I decided to try to write a simple form in html and insert PHP there, I got

FORBIDDEN
You don't have permission to access this resource.

<html>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
        Name: <input type="text" name="name">
        <input type="submit">
    </form>

    <?php
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") 
        {
        $name = $_REQUEST['name'];
        echo $name
    }
    ?>
</body>
</html>

What to do? Save.

It is better to use php in files with the php extension, but if, for some reason, it is needed in html files, then you need to make sure that the server settings are correct and mentally prepare Apache for the opportunity to meet php where it does not expect it. Open or create an .htaccess config at the root of your project and add the following statement there:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
