problem with php mixed with html

I have this file x.php but it doesnt work. Php only works if it is in a pure php file
(with no html code).Im using xampp 1.7.7. Any ideas what might be the problem ?

<html>

<body>

<?php
echo ("HELLO");

?>
</body>

</html>

Works fine on my system: Fedora 15, Firefox 9, Apache 2.x on localhost. I think it should run on other systems too. What error do you get?. If you look at the page source in the browser is there anything displayed? What do you get if you add some text to the html code such as below?

<html>

<body>

<h1>Do you see HELLO WORLD or just WORLD?</h1>

<?php
echo ("HELLO");
?>

<span> WORLD</span>

</body>

</html>

Did you use PHP short tags (as it is displayed in your last post)? Maybe your web server is not configured for short tags. Also it might be a good idea to put a whitespace between the tags and PHP code.
