Browser shows text of php file

[ramyaniv]

Hi,
I have created a file named welcome.php with content:
<?php
echo 'welcome';
?>

typing in the browser localhost/welcome.php, the browser shows:

<?php
echo 'welcome';
?>

instead of:
welcome

why is that?

Wrong configuration. What does your browser show if you enter http://localhost only, where did you put your welcome.php?
