PHP is rendered like a txt file

[kinney.aaron@gmail.com]

I am new to PHP, trying to learn the ropes if you will. Now, I
published a .php file to a web server through FTP about an hour ago,
expecting it to be rendered like an HTML file, except with a .php
extension. I was surprised to see it came out looking like a text file.
Can anyone help me with this, or tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.

The web server doesn't know about php. It is an add-on _at the server_
which many web hosts charge extra for. Either get your host to support
php or set up your own for development purposes - (That's not a single
button click but there's plenty of documentation.)
