PHP echoing code after "->" to page

I have the following code:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$m = new MongoClient();
$db = $m->admin;
?>

The code is displaying

admin; ?>

on the page. Any additional code I add before the end PHP tag is also displayed.

Am I missing a glaringly obvious syntax error?

Are you sure the php gets interpreted? In other words, do you see the original php code when you "view source" in your browser? – Daan Meijer Jan 06 '17 at 16:02
webserver/php installed? `http://localhost` or `file:///`? `.html` or `.php`? many factors at play here. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 06 '17 at 16:03

*"Am I missing a glaringly obvious syntax error?"* - There's nothing wrong with the code, it's the way it's being used. – Funk Forty Niner Jan 06 '17 at 16:04

I figured out what the problem was and would happily post the solution but the question has been marked as a dupe. – ryansin Jan 06 '17 at 16:20
