cann't view php file

yarongo

I am trying to make my first steps in php.
I wrote:

This script will produce a page of HTML

print "<html>";
print "<head>";
print "<title>PHP Test 2</title>";
print "</head>";
print "<body>";
print "<center>";
print "<h1>PHP is Great!</h1>";
print "</center>";

print "<hr>";
print "<p>The header of this page is overhead thanks to \"PHP\".</p>";
print "</body>";
print "</html>";

    # End of PHP document

?>

very simple... suppose to be.
I upload it to a php server and view it through the internet.
but every time I got this result:
"; print ""; print ""; # End of PHP document ?>

whats wrong?

do you have the php server installed?
do you have a web srver installed?
is the document that you wrote in the root of the web server?
was your web server configured with php support?
use this a test file for php:
```
   <?php phpinfo(); ?>
   
```
call the above file test.php and navigate to it by typing in http://localhost/test.php

this file will produce a long list about php and the resources avaiable on the machine to make things work...

for an easy solution to installing php, apache web server and mysql...see www.easyphp.org
