PHP inside HTML - Importing API value

Question

I'm having a hard time getting the "price" to be displayed. Am I using php the right way in this case?

<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%">
<td>Bitstamp</td>

<?php
$url = "https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/";
$fgc = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($fgc, true);
$price = $json["last"];
?>

<td><?php echo $price; ?></td>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Your code looks ok. What do you get? Does your server support PHP? Does your filename end in .php ? Anything in your error log? — Andy

Your <table> is missing a row <tr> but I don't think it would stop it working — Andy

Everything you mentioned seems to be in order, but I get nothing. All I see is the "Bitstamp" text. — tklein

Please answer my previous questions about your server, filename and logs — Andy

There was a problem with Wordpress reading the file. Using "Insert PHP" plugin fixed it. Thank you! — tklein

Yes, it's correct. If you don't get reply from file_get_contents function, you might want to set php setting allow_url_fopen=true
