You can, but unless you configure your web server to consider .html
files to be PHP scripts, it doesn't make much sense. HTML documents are
static, so you wouldn't be able to do anything with the data.
Two things to add:
1/ Setting your webserver to consider all .html files to be PHP scripts
is good and bad. It is sometimes considered good because it hides the
fact that you're using PHP from potential attackers (but they'd have to
know about a vulnerability in PHP first, so as long as you keep
up-to-date...), but it's sometimes bad because it causes PHP to process
all HTML files, even if they don't have any PHP in them, which slows
things down.
2/ Passing parameters in the query string to a static HTML page can very
occasionally be useful if you intend to do something with those
parameters in JavaScript.
