Solution 1

You must have made a mistake of having a double closing ?> like this:

<?php   
	echo "<h1>Hello World!</h1>";
?>
?>

Get rid of one of them.

Another possibility is that you are running this page as a local file without a web server, right? PHP is a server-side scripting that has to be deployed on and served from a web server. You cannot run it like a normal html file.
