I have PHP installed on my CENTOS server. However, when running a phpinfo() inside my script to test it, I receive the HTML, not the interpreted information. I can see the folders for PHP. I can even see the php.ini in the etc folder. But php itself does not seem to be working. I mean my test.php file looks like this:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
And the response looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;}
body, td, th, h1, h2 {font-family: sans-serif;}
pre {margin: 0px; font-family: monospace;}
a:link {color: #000099; text-decoration: none; background-color: #ffffff;}
...
and so on.
What seems to be the problem and how do I solve it? If I copy the HTML returned, paste it into an HTML file, and run it from there, I can see the formatted result, but not by running the test.php. I assume php is not loaded somehow... even if in the interpreted HTML I can see the :

On this system, there are 3 websites hosted. Does that have anything to do with this problem?
I had the same problem. The solution in my case was to set default_mimetype = "text/html" inside php.ini file.
For people who have no experience in building websites (like me) I tried a lot, only to find out that I hadn't use the
.php
extension but the.html
extension.happened to me as well. In a newly provisioned REDHAT 7 server.
When i run a php page i.e. info.php i could see plain text php scripts instead of executing them
Just installed php
Then restart apache
I accidentally set the wrong file permissions. After
chmod 644 phpinfo.php
the info indeed showed up as expected.This did it for me (the second answer) : why are my php files showing as plain text?
Simply adding this, nothing else worked.
have you saved the page which contains
with .php extension ? something like info.php not info.html ...
