You've actually answered for yourself.

This code

<td><?PHP $abc; ?></td>

or this code

<td><?php echo $abc; ?></td>

will work similarly.

Unfortunately, you have to do this to obtain the content of the variable $abc. There are no other ways because HTML cannot take non-HTML codes. The server does not understand $abc and hence treated it as plain text to display on a normal HTML page. Inserting PHP code tags and changing the file type to PHP will print the correct information as they stated the correct scripting.

Likewise you cannot have javascript contents without declaring it's a javascript.
<script language="javascript">

Alternatively, you could simply get the contents of the file, and replace the said string with the variable's value, something like:

 

<?php$abc='123';echo str_replace('$abc',$abc,file_get_contents('index.htm'));?>

You may want to check out the Smarty template engine; it's very easy to use and works wonderfully, and operates on a similar premises to this. You simply add the variable in the template along the lines of {$VARIABLE}, and Smarty automatically replaces it with the assigned value ($smarty->assign('VARIABLE','value') when displaying it.

 

Anyway, PHP is not going to process any data outside of the <? ?> tags (usually <?php ?>, but not always). Which means that you are going to explicitly instruct it to output the said variable.
