Can't figure out why simple PHP script doesn't produce output...

I can't get this to work. I am running it locally on my XP workstation. I made it an html file and openned it with IE, but there is no output. Any ideas why?

<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
   <?php 
   echo "Hi, I'm a PHP script!"; 
   ?>
</body>
</html>

What do you see when you view source?

I see this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>

   <?php 
   echo "Hi, I'm a PHP script!"; 
   ?>

</body>
</html>

OK, I put this code onto a server which has php on it and still nothing...any other ideas?

Nevermind...I figured it out...I was giving the file a .html extension instead of .php 🙂
