Problem with Apache/PHP

Hi everyone,
A while ago I've installed WAMP5 (v1.7.0) on a WinXP computer. When I go to either [localhost] or [127.0.0.1], I got this error (aswell in IE7.x and MF):
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\Programma's\WAMP5\www\index.php on line 86
Whenever I place another .html file in the www directory, I can view it correctly. But whenever I place a .php file in it, the php will not show up. The same goes for embedded php in a .html file: the html does show up, the php does not. This is an example code of some embedded code:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello world!";
?>
</body>
</html>
When I switch to php4 (add-on), I got this error (read carefully, nearly the same as the previous one):
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in D:\Programma's\WAMP5\www\index.php on line 86
I also have copied some correctly working .php files from my server (CentOS, LAMP server with same php and apache versions) to my WinXP comp, but it had no effect. I guess this problem is php related, maybe the smart guys in here can help me with this...
Thank you in advance

make sure the file has a .php extension,not a .html extension. also, it does,not seem you are posting your whole php code because the error says on line 86, but your code is only 10 lines long.

The error is from the index.php, the default index of Apache located in www. The code I gave was just an example to show that it's not just an error in that particular index file (by the way I saved that example as test.php and test.html, both did not work).
While writing this post I may have found the problem which I am able to fix. I'll check it, you'll hear from me soon enough...
EDIT: Yes, I have found it. Check line 86 from the original Apache2 index.php file:
$pma_conf_file = 'D:/Programma's/WAMP5/phpmyadmin/'.'config.inc.php'
I have installed WAMP to a parent folder named "Programma's" (in English it is programs without the ', but in Dutch you need to put that ' there). When PHP was checking for his root folder, he came across that ' and interprented it as the end of the line. Now I have it installed to C:/Program Files/WAMP5, it's all running smooth and easy...
Thank you for your help anyway
