Stepping back to the basics, what did you name the file (use a .php extension), and where is it hosted (ie, not a asp environment)?

And is it hosted at all, or are you trying it on your own computer?

Did you install PHP? I would really recommend installing a WAMP stack; it makes things really easy.
