what's going with PHP

[12Strings]

After a couple of years running my 1.7.4 localhost system completely
out of the box I decided to go to the 1.8.1. Since the download I haven't
been able to run php programs. I've uninstalled & installed back to
the older version & back again.I've checked my databases a couple of times,
They are good. They control panel and command both tell me apache and mysql
running but the php files only display code? Below is the stripped down
php code and message. I sure could use some help.

";
$stat = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_close(); ?>

<?php
if (isset( $_POST['payrec']) )
 {
$recur=$_POST['recur'];
$pd=$_POST['pd'];
$payrec=$_POST['payrec'];
$acctno=$_POST['acctno'];
}
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
mysql_select_db('oodb') or die( "Unable to select database");
print $_POST['acctno'];
$query = "
INSERT INTO oocust (recur,pd,payrec,acctno)
VALUES ('$recur','$pd','$payrec','$acctno')";
echo "data inserted</font><br /><br />";
$stat = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_close();
?>

Yep, it's displaying the PHP rather than executing it. PHP's not installed/set up. Did you check the instructions or manual for whatever it is you installed?

1.7.4 / 1.8.1 these are version numbers of what? It sure aint PHP.
