That's exactly what I'm saying. Apache or IIS (or whatever) discern the
contents of a file and determine how to parse it. As far as I know,
Apache, even with a PHP file, parses the HTML in the file and hands PHP
off to a PHP module to decode. The PHP engine itself does not parse the
HTML which is interspersed in and amongst your PHP code. The web server
does that. Unless some php internals person says otherwise, that's the
story. At best, the PHP engine would simply echo non-PHP text to the
browser, which is not parsing it.
