I am new to PHP. I have developed my own web site with a lot of javascript in simple HTML files. I want to do some extensions with PHP but I can't make a simple web page function. I am sure something simple is wrong. Help!
Here is the test web page I made: hello.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?>
</body>
</html>
Pointing Safari at hello.html gives me a new tab with the correct title, but no "Hello World" in the page itself.
Here is the output of php --version:
