No.

https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages

GitHub Pages does not support server-side languages such as PHP, Ruby, or Python.

You place the index.php on a web server that supports PHP, you visit the page in your browser, you view the source and copy the HTML code and save it as index.html.

The different between .html and .php is that:
index.php can read and recognize html elements and tags + the php syntax,
while index.html can NOT read and recognize the php syntax. that means any php code inside index.html won't work.

For example we have that code:

<?php

echo "Hello from PHP";

?>

<br>

<h1>Hello from HTML<h1/>

If we put it inside index.php , it will print:
Hello from PHP
Hello from HTML

but if we put it in index.html , it will print:
Hello from HTML

Conclusion:
Any php code inside index.html won't work

Solution:
You can use API backend and use javaScript to communicate with the php backend through the HTML page.

if you want to get started with php frontend and backend i suggest you Laravel it's php framework and it easy, just need the php basics and you are good to go, there is a lot of youtube free courses to learn from.
and you can learn javaScript basics as well and go for Vuejs ( a javaScript framework ) so you can make "Single Web Application" that works only with one page (index.html).

if you learned Laravel as backend and Vuejs as frontend you can make SPA (Single Web Application) that works only with one page (index.html).

Not only that, you can even make Mobile apps as PWA (Progressive Web Application) using: Laravel as backend and Vuejs + Framework7 as frontend

a little off topic but why don't you just host the php file with some free host. infinityfree comes to mind. have you checked them out yet? github only allows static pages.

I tried all the free hosts but to be honest they are not good inifinityfree when i send bunch of traffic to my website the CPU gets heated up and my website gets down for 24hours i think github and google cloud are suitable and they are really working great the speed to load my website is awesome and they are reliable as well thats why
