Answer 1

I had the job to re-work on a PHP page to be capable with GitHub so it's all AJAX now. Use Ajax instead or similar stuff.
However, you can provide PHP code as a new committed file/gist/repo if you want to provide only the code instead of running it like what this guy did... And if you want to show a demo of your working PHP code, then

• use an online environment 3v4l.org
  
• or add demos to your repos using package managers like Packagist, Composer
  

Just general info.

Answer 2

Github pages currently do not support PHP as it only supports static website.

However, if you want to display some dynamic content on your website, you can simply use iframe to display that content, but again it has to be hosted somewhere else.

Answer 3

You cannot use php on Github Pages.

But if you want to use a form on your site, give a try to services like https://formspree.io or http://www.jotform.com/.

Answer 4

A static site cannot by definition support PHP.

• Static websites serve content directly from the web-server’s file-system exactly as stored.

• Dynamic websites generate content live per each request. The request is delegated to a running web-application that builds the content.
