Solution :

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- HTML5 document type declaration -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Declares document character encoding -->
<title>How to define a piece of computer code</title><!-- Sets the title of the webpage -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<p>This following text is computer code : <code><?php $x = w34; echo $x; ?></code></p><!-- Paragraph element with inline PHP code surrounded by <code> tags -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
Within the body section, there's a <p> (paragraph) element containing text and a <code> element.
Inside the <code> element, there's PHP code surrounded by <?php ?> tags. This code assigns a value to a variable $x and echoes its value.
The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
