php problem

After installing php through pacman -S php
I can't not run a simple helloworld script

the script(helloworld.php) is just:
<?
echo "Hello World";
?>

while I run "php helloworld.php", it just give me the content of the script but not "Hello World" that I expected.
I have try to solve the problem, and I find that if I delete the /etc/php.ini, everything is correct. But I do need /etc/php.ini to configure the php and load the extension.  So how can I run the php script with the /etc/php.ini is loaded?

Re: php problem

Your code is wrong. You have to use "<?php ... ?>".

Re: php problem

Yes you can (I think it`s called asp-like tags). But you shouldn`t do that. ;-)
