Is PHP correctly installed on your computer?

If all else fails, try adding in brackets.
Useless for the most part, but for your puproses try this -
<?php
echo ('hello');
?>

Not sure if it is correctly installed if not how could i?

Are you running some sort of HTTP server on your computer like Apache? PHP isn't browser-parsed.

Well, you need to download the PHP files from php.net

And then, you need the apache server installed as well. Those are the basics.

But before you download those files, type this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If a page of information shows up on your screen when you run the php file, you'll know that it is correctly installed.

Of course, otherwise it would just show the code.
