Thanks in advance for your help, I am pretty sure you can solve my problem.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <?php
      echo '<p>hello world</p>';
    ?>
  </body>
</html>

Previous Code example does display

hello world
'; ?>

instead of the expected

hello world

This was run local with xampp V3.2.2 on a win10 OS and Chrome browser. I hope I'm not the fiftieth person to ask this just because I couldn't google it correctly. Thanks for your help.

  • I am sort of sure that it's running correctly. I just installed xampp and relied on it running correct. I'll reinstall it and try to find the correct settings. So far you've helped me a lot. Didn't know xampp could be the problem. Commented Dec 17, 2017 at 14:32
