I am trying to use php inside .html file with gulp-connect-php on windows - gulp-watch

Question

I am new to gulp and trying to use php inside .html file with gulp-connect-php on windows.
The html file is included the code
<?php echo "test"; ?>.
But, It does not appear "test" on the browser. So, could you tell me how to solve this problem?
The below is my gulpfile.js. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance:
var gulp = require("gulp");
var browser = require("browser-sync");
var connect = require("gulp-connect-php");
gulp.task("server", function() {
connect.server({
bin:'c:/xampp/php/php.exe',
ini:'c:/xampp/php/php.ini',
port:3000,
base:'./www'
}, function(){
browser({
proxy:'localhost:3000'
// server: {
// baseDir: "./"
// }
});
});
});
gulp.task("reload", function() {
browser.reload({stream:true});
});
gulp.task("default",['server'], function() {
gulp.watch("./*.php",["reload"]);
});

I had same problem.
I added router: '. /router.php' parameter to connect.server({.
gulp-connect-php runs a php Built-in web server internally.
It can set the router script for the php Built-in web server by adding the router parameter.
Built-in web server:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php
connect.server({
bin:'c:/xampp/php/php.exe',
ini:'c:/xampp/php/php.ini',
port:3000,
base:'./www',
router: './router.php'
}, function(){
router.php
<?php
$path = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];
if(preg_match("/\.html$/", $path)){
chdir(dirname($path));
return require($path);
}
return false;
?>
