How do I get my web server to read PHP?

my server is not executing the PHP code what are some specific things I can check to remedy this???

Only the HTML is Showing up in my browser.

Thank you.

Here is the code (although I don't believe it is the code):

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

  <head>

    <title>Today&rsquo;s Date</title>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type"

      content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

  </head>

  <body>

    <p>Today&rsquo;s date (according to this web server) is

      <?php
 
    echo date('1, F dS Y.');
 
    ?>

    </p>

  </body>

</html>

create a php file by using following lines...

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Now save this file in u'r root folder & access it by user browser by typing http://localhost/fileName.php

If u've installed PHP & that's working properly u'll get a page with having all PHP related information...
