Well, I can't comment.
But if you don't have a server support PHP you can't run the file.
I mean you can't run the file in your "PC" you need upload the file to web hosting or set up your computer as server. (You can install WampServer, XAMPP etc..)

Your code appears correct in format, but you cannot just display PHP code without a server. If you are testing this by opening the file in your browser, it will not work. You need to either look into XAMPP a useful cross platform server solution for free or if you have a hosting provider for a website, testing your code on that server. Hope that helps.
Here is some information on XAMPP .
