PHP code not executing, new to PHP

Question

Last week I started playing around with LAMP Ubuntu and I didnt have any issues. Today some code wasn't working so I tried running this in index.php:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

This doesn't work when I connect to localhost in my browser, but it works in testphp.php at localhost/testphp.php

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have a shortcut index.html that points to index.php, and localhost/index.html doesn't work. What could have happened to the shortcut that disabled php?

If you mean that code doesn't get executed when you access http://localhost/, then you should try to add
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
to your apache's conf file.
