How do I get my PHP to display on the browser? Currently, nothing is showing and I am not sure what is wrong?

<body>
testing

<?php
    echo "Hie there";
    print "Hello there";

?>

</body>

I expect it to display the echo but currently, nothing shows when I run it. Can you show me what is wrong with the code?

Files like .php must have a web-server to run them. Double clicking the html file won't do it. Try installing wamp or xampp or maybe host the file on a server somewhere and open the page again.

Php (php hypertext processor) unlike html, you will need a web server to run your scripts you can try xampp, and also you 'll have to save your php file as anything.php try and check W3schools php tutorial

Ok so if you are runngin on a VPS login as root

and then Create a file named install with touch install and then run apt-get install nano and then you run this nano install and put this code here in it and press ctrl + x and y + enter

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "This script will install all esseintials for php 7.3 for you"
sleep 3

apt update
apt upgrade -y
apt install ca-certificates apt-transport-https lsb-release curl nano unzip -y
wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
apt update
apt install apache2 -y
apt install php7.3 php7.3-cli php7.3-curl php7.3-gd php7.3-intl php7.3-json php7.3-mbstring php7.3-mysql php7.3-opcache php7.3-readline php7.3-xml php7.3-xsl php7.3-zip php7.3-bz2 libapache2-mod-php7.3 -y
apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y
clear
echo "Ok your done all has been setup."
echo "bye."

do not forget to make this file executable with chmod +x install
