php just stopped working /malfunctioning. displaying source code

I am trying to run this simple php code (in a file named "database.php")

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
        $servername = 'localhost';
        $username = 'admin';
        $password = 'admin1';

     //Create connection
        $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
    // Check connection

    if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die('Connection failed: ' . $conn->connect_error);

                             } 
else { 

echo 'Connected Successfully.' ;

     }

$conn->close();

    ?>
</body>
</html>

AND HERE IS THE OUTPUT IN MY BROWSER 

connect_error)  
{ die('Connection failed: ' . $conn->connect_error); } 
else { echo 'Connected Successfully.' ; } 
$conn->close();
?>

( the first part of php code get processed but later it shows just the source code)

PLEASE HELP.

The first part of the code is not actually being processed, but being hidden because the browser thinks it is an HTML tag. So everything between <? and -> gets hidden. A viktike points out, you need to enable PHP parsing by your server, which may require additionally a number of actions beyond simply adding PHP handing in the sercver config.

I'm not familiar with Wamp, but it seems like PHP has been disabled so I'd explore re-enabling, starting with simply restarting the server, and then looking at Apache config and Wamp's own method of configuring things which probably departs from standard method of doing this stuff.

Set a handler for *.php files in the webserver config. For apache:

<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
