php7 :

sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif

sudo a2enconf php7.0-fpm

sudo service apache2 restart

I'm running Apache on Ubuntu and my issue was that the /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf file was missing this:

<FilesMatch ".+.ph(p[345]?|t|tml)$">

    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

</FilesMatch>

I added it back in and php was parsing php files correctly.

note for php 7 users, add this to your httpd.conf file:

# PHP 7 specific configuration

<IfModule php7_module>

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

    <IfModule dir_module>

        DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

    </IfModule>

</IfModule>

I found another problem causing this issue and already solved it. I accidentally saved my script in UTF-16 encoding. It seems that PHP5 can't recognize <?php tag in 16 bit encoding by default.

I'm posting this answer because my Virtualmin/Webmin admin interface decided it was a good idea to disable my PHP engine.. took me a while to find the solution, so I thought I'd share it with you guys:

Also, be sure to check that none of your website config files related to this specific host or virtualhost have any php_admin_value's in them that turn off PHP, like this:

php_admin_value engine Off

When in doubt, comment it...

# php_admin_value engine Off

And restart your webserver.

Oh God! I just saw your posted image again, you're just opening your php file into browser. you have open is using localhost url. if you open a file directly from your directory it will not execute the php code in any case.

use: http://locahost/index.php or http:127.0.0.1/index.php

enable php short code in your case, you are using <? which is php short code for <?php

by default php short codes are disabled.

also use: sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt if you are a ubuntu user.

I know it should sound silly... but seldom it happens.

Check if you are trying to execute php from

**http://localhost/info.php**

and not from

file:///var/www/info.php

ps> you can notice that if you write from shell

php info.php 

it answer with the code (it means php functions)..

I've solved this by uninstalling XAMPP, and installing WAMP.
Thanks for the help.

This just happened to me again, along with the server downloading html files, rather than processing. I had not use the webserver apache for some time on the computer and meanwhile Ubuntu updated like two more versions from originally installed LTS. Now it is

$ cat /etc/issue

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

So the php worked after like so:

$ sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

$ sudo a2enmod php7.0

$ sudo service apache2 restart 

The webserver was now parsing the php. Maybe now got to update some webs since php7.0 now running where as it was before running php5. Oh well.

i had similar problem but in my case solution was different.
my file that held php code was called "somename.html"
changed it to "somename.php" worked fine

on my ubuntu 14.04, apache 2.4, php 5.5.9 install, I tried with a sample.php on /var/www/html (default document root) and it worked ok.
So the problem was on my Virtual Servers config.
The solution was to include, on the Directory def containing the .php, this line:

    php_admin_flag engine on

Check all the packages you have installed for php using:

yum list installed | grep remi

Install all relevant php packages, especially php-devel on your machine.

This was in my .htaccess

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

index.html contained PHP code. By default, PHP won't process files with extentions like htm* as PHP code.

You can override this, by adding the following to .htaccess:

<FilesMatch ".+.html$">

    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

</FilesMatch>

For fresh setup of LAMP running php 7
edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Note: make sure to make backup for it before changing anything.

Paste this at the very bottom of the file:

<IfModule php7_module>

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

<IfModule dir_module>

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

</IfModule>

Then, search for LoadModule and paste the following line:

LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

This line will simply ask httpd to load the php 7 module

Then restart httpd

I faced this issue on php 7.1 that comes with High Sierra (OS X 10.13.5), editing /etc/apache2/httpd.conf with following changes helped:

1. 
   

   Uncomment this line

   
   
   

   LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
   
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Paste following at the end

   
   
   

   <IfModule php7_module>
   
       AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
   
       AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
   
   
   
       <IfModule dir_module>
   
           DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
   
       </IfModule>
   
   </IfModule>
   
   

   
   

I think the problem that it is showing code instead of the result is that it is not going to local host . recheck what address u r going in. are u going to a local file directory or to the local host.

from the screenshot u sent it is going to ur computer not to the localhost.

"file:/// " it should be "localhost/"

Reinstalling the mcrypt module worked for me.

$sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

$sudo php5enmod mcrypt

I had a case that I accidentally started untaring my files directory in root. It added the .htaccess file from my files folder that would block all php

# If we know how to do it safely, disable the PHP engine entirely.

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

  php_flag engine off

</IfModule>

Bottom line check the .htaccess file on root.

If you have configuration like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName example.com

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/example.com"



    <FilesMatch ".php$">

        SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000"

    </FilesMatch>

</VirtualHost>

Uncomment next lines in your httpd.conf

LoadModule proxy_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so

LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module lib/httpd/modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so

It works for me

Add AddType application/x-httpd-php .php to your httpd.conf file if you are using Apache 2.4

Make sure the script contains

<?php

before the code that should be executed. There should be no space between <? and php in this.

Just spent hours of trying to get PHP 5 to run with Apache 2.4 on Windows 10. Finally for me it was a typo in httpd.conf LoadModule. Drew attention to writing and exact module path through the last answer in this apachelounge thread of denny2018. Thank you!

After two nights I discovered... My directory was written c: (lower case)

I had LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll" but correct for apache 2.4 is:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"

So I also missed the _4 before (for apache 2.4). The full snippet that worked for me:

# PHP

LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache2_4.dll"

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

<FilesMatch .php$>

    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

</FilesMatch>

Just tried PHP 7. There the LoadModule line in httpd.conf for Apache 2.4 reads

LoadModule php7_module "C:/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

Currently php manual shows up c:/php/php5apache2.dll which of course needs to be adjusted.

in my case (Apache/2.4.34),

after uncommenting the specific module

"LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so"

from

"/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"

my problem was gone.
