Cannot "Hello World" with PHP

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get PHP to print out a simple "Hello World" message but failing over and over.

Here is the code I am using:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[www.w3.org];
<html xmlns="[www.w3.org];
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php echo("Hello World"winking smiley; ?>
</body>
</html>

I am not running skype and have changed the default port to 8080, I am currently running Windows Vista Basic with the firewall off. Apache v2.2.11 PHP v5.2.9-2.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

this is what it should be

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[www.w3.org];>
<html xmlns="[www.w3.org];>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php echo("Hello World"winking smiley ?>
</body>
</html>

Make sure that your file name is: what-ever-you-name-it.php
Not an .htm or .html ending.

actually, make sure there is no hidden .txt extension and run your php file through localhost; check here for more detail

first open a browser and type in localhost, if you do not get a page php or apache is not running.

<?php
echo "Hello World1";
?>

save file hello_world.php in you localhost root folder, then type in localhost/hello_world.php
