Use proper tag ``. Also did you run the xammp server for executing this file? – Ayaz Ali Shah Jul 09 '17 at 13:00

You need to make sure following things for executing php file.
- Php tag should be properly open and close
<?php ... ?> - You xampp server is properly running.
- You are accessing file by putting correct path.
