Browsers execute some PHP files, why?

index.php contains this code:

phpinfo();

When I run this, it will execute this PHP code which is good.

But the problem is when I go to my website and run certain files, it will show the PHP code rather than executing it. It was working before but when I came back to visit the website, my web server started to mess up.

So I had to enable PHP, MySQL, and all sorts. How do I fix this??

Since it runs this code, doesn't that show I enabled PHP?? – Rashad Abdo Jun 02 '18 at 17:06
The webserver is Apache – Rashad Abdo Jun 02 '18 at 17:09
Are you using the right file extension?Does the script start with ` – Hapstyx Jun 02 '18 at 17:14
How do you "go to the website"? Do you go to `http://localhost` or do you simply open the file in your browser? Opening the file directly _does not_ run it through apache. You will need to use localhost or use some virtual host (which you probably will get to at a later stage) – JimL Jun 02 '18 at 17:14
by writing localhost/...... – Rashad Abdo Jun 02 '18 at 17:15
the file extension is correct it ends with .php. Also I'm using MAC – Rashad Abdo Jun 02 '18 at 17:20
