PHP is not displaying any results in the browser

i am learning PHP, i have checked 1000s of time, my php code is wrote correctly, but when i try to preview it in the browser - it shows as a blank page. If i take a look at the Page source - it shows the php code.
What do i do wrong, and how can i fix it.
Thanks.
I have windows vista and i work with cs4.

This is the code that i use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>
 
<body>

<?php

$name = "Tatiana";
 
echo "$name";

?>

</body>

</html>

Hi, this looks like a problem with your http server set up, not the actual php code.

First and foremost, I need to ask:

1) do you actually have php installed on your computer?
2) do you have a Http server such as Apach or IIS installed on your computer?
3) if so, is the Http server configured properly so that it handles php pages correctly?

Hi, Thanks for reply,
I do have Apach on my comp ( I don't know if it matters, but it says <Win32> ) and i have vista
--- I'm sorry if my questions might seem very simple to you - but I'm new to this

What do you mean when you ask me if I have Php installed on my comp?

Php is the program that interprets your code and sends the output to the Http server, in your case, Apache, in in-turns sends it to the browser for display.

Here is a good tutorial about how to install and configure PHP and Apache on Windows:
