Cannot execute php scripts in apache2 Ubuntu 16.04

Question

I'm using apache2 with php7.0 on Ubuntu 16.04

I made a php script with code:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

When I attempt to execute this script, rather than executing it the output is the code itself.

What should I do to resolve this issue?

Any assistance would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I'm using local server.To run the script I open the link localhost/testphp.php. The file 'testphp.php' file contains the code provided above. — Rohan Sharma, May 28 '16 at 05:59
Is your local server working ? localhost or localhost:80 in your browser ? — Niklesh Raut, May 28 '16 at 06:01

You checked all your settings? Sounds like a setting issue or you are not using a .php extension (-: – Sander Knoop May 28 '16 at 06:35

Yes, I'm using .php extension and I've already seen the question in the link above and it didn't help. – Rohan Sharma May 28 '16 at 07:25
