How to display a string in php?

Question

I cannot display using php, what am I doing wrong ?

I have this file :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>

  <?php
    echo "My first PHP script!";
  ?> 

  </body>
</html>

in a file called test.html.

When I open that file in my browser, there is nothing shown.

Where is my problem ?

As above, to run php in a webpage, you need a php enabled webserver running, and you need to access the page via the server. — Steve, Sep 03 '14 at 13:06

Your file should be saved as a php-file.

Like:

index.php

Also you'll need a server to host the files on. You can do this locally with USB-Webserver, xampp etc.
