Display IP address on page with HTML

Question

I am just starting HTML so the mistake I am currently making is probably something really obvious. I found this code that should display the user's IP address on the page, but it doesn't work. Why is this?

<html>
<head>
    <title>Palpable Coral</title>
</head>
<body>
Your IP address is: <? echo $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; ?>
</body>
</html>

HTML itself does not provide a way to retrieve an IP address. The code you show uses PHP to get the IP address and to insert it into the HTML code. — t.niese, May 27 '19 at 16:52
That is not HTML, that is server side code. It looks like php but should be ``` — Rob C, May 27 '19 at 16:55

He still need the extension `.php` to get it work and `apache server` ex. `xampp,wamp,lamp` – danish-khan-I May 27 '19 at 17:37
if it is in localhost of course xaamp/wamp in needed. Else all of these are preinstaled. – john tsolakidis May 27 '19 at 17:46
