# How to call phtml file in Magento 2
_Published: March 15, 2023_
_Author: Prashant Dhaduk_
In this article, we will explain how to call a phtml file in Magento 2. In this, we cover how to create a phtml file and different ways to call phtml files in Magento 2.
Before calling the phtml file, you must **create a phtml file** in Magento 2.
- Now you should create a **test.phtml** file at **app/design/frontend/{Package}/{theme}/Magento\_Theme/templates/html/** and add your code to this file those you want.
Now we can call the newly created phtml file from a layout XML, blocks, and CMS pages and another phtml file.
### Calling phtml file in XML layout
- You can create a layout file to call the phtml file into the home page. create a layout file called “cms\_index\_index.xml” in your theme. Insert the code below into the layout file.
```
```
### Calling phtml file in blocks and cms pages
- If you’re creating a static block or static page and want to call a phtml file into the CMS block or CMS page, copy the code below and add it to the block or page.
```
{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="test_file" template="Magento_Theme::html/test.phtml"}}
```
### Calling phtml file in another phtml file
- If you need to call a custom PHTML file into another PHTML file, copy the below code, give a path to your newly created PHTML file into the setTemplate argument, and paste the code into another PHTML file that you want.
```
getLayout()->createBlock("Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template")->setTemplate("Magento_Theme::html/test.phtml")->toHtml(); ?>
```
**That’s it!** I hope this technical blog will help you find what you were looking for.
