?>'

Are you sure the file path is C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php?
Especially are you that the file extension is .php and not .php.txt (hidden known file extensions)? Please double check that.

best wishes,

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, it seems that the hidden known file extensions was the problem. Now it is working. Thanks again for your feedback, have a nice day.
