Trouble getting PHP to run in Apache2

I am running the ubuntu distribution (based on debian). I installed
Apache2 and php. The web server is working. php is working at the
command line with commands of the form
$ pnp -r 'phpinfo();'

But, pnp commands imbedded in html are not interpreted. For example,
the following line, imbedded in an otherwise good html file is just ignored
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

I seem to be so close, yet not there yet. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gil

You say its in a good html file, does this file have the file type
php? If is a .html, then apache won't recognise that.

If it is, have you modified the apache http.conf file to include a
type handler for the .php file types.

check here for specific details.

If that is the actual line, try
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
