First sample PHP not working with wamp/firefox

I am trying PHP code for the very first time and copying the code in the instructions but when I try to open it “hhtp://localhost/today.php” I am getting the code displayed and not the expected result.

     <title>Today&rsquo;s Date</title>          

      <meta http-equiv="content-type"            

       content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>        
   <p>Today&rsquo;s date (according to this web server) is          

        <?php                

             echo date('l, F dS Y.');                

          ?>        

        </p>      

  </body>      

Can anyone explain why please

Have you confirmed WAMP is working correctly? If not, make a phpinfo.php file with the following in it

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

Place that in the root of your WAMP server, then got to http://localhost/phpinfo.phpin your browser. You should get a whole raft of information about your PHP install if the WAMP server is working correctly.

Small typo there, it should be http not hhtp
