Apache2 is not executing php code

Question

I'm new in linux system. I've problem with executing php code in browser.

I've installed all packages, by using this command

sudo apt install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php
Add user to the root group
When I type php -V in command line it works, and http://localhost page in browser also works.

But when I try to execute php file it shows as a text instead of executing.

So how can I solve this problem ?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

You can write a bash script start.sh with following content:

 #!/bin/bash
 php -f somefile.php

Then start from command line /path/start.sh

Or you can write a Startphp.desktop file with this content:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Start php
Comment=Start PHP
Type=Application
Exec=/path/to/php /path/to/somefile.php
Icon=/path/to/your/icon.png
Name[fr_FR]=Start PHP
Categories=

Then start with double click on the desktop file in the file manager.

please mark the answer as a solution for further reference – kukulo Jul 18 '19 at 15:09 — kukulo, Jul 18 '19 at 15:09
