Testing problem with PHP

[jacksp302]

I have installed PHP5, Apache, XAMPP, everything is running fine but when i go to the browser, i made php testing file and moved it in "htdocs". I tested it and instead of showing "hello world" it is showing the code like this:

 

<?php

 

print ("Hello World");

 

?>

 

its now showing "Hello World".

I tried to google my problem but couldn't really find anything. Don't understand what i m doing wrong.

[smartflower2002]

change print to echo

 

echo("hello world");

[Mchl]

change print to echo

 

One is an alias[1] for another.

 

jacksp302: Did you install PHP, Apache and XAMPP separately? XAMPP comes with PHP and Apache, so there's no need to install them.

 

 

[1]: Not really, but in this context there's no difference.
