PHP still not executing on MAC OSX 10.10 Yosemite

I cannot get PHP to work on my computer. My browser prints out the php code rather than executing it.

The first thing I did was to open up the apache conf file and edit it to uncomment the php line

Opened file:

    sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

This is the line I uncommented in that file:

    LoadModule php_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

I then restarted apache using: 

    sudo apachectl restart

Apache would run, http://127.0.0.1 would show "It works!" I then created a file called test.php, in which I put the following line of code: 

    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

In chrome I clicked file -> open file -> test.php, and all it printed was the code I had written.

I've also tried changing the line "User _www" in the conf file to 

    User myusername

I've tried changing the line "DirectoryIndex index.html" to: 

    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

None of these changes have resulted in PHP script executing on my computer. Any help would be appreciated!

Put the test.php in /Library/WebServer/Documents .

Make sure you have 

 <?php phpinfo(); ?>

inside your test.php

Open Chrome. Go to http://localhost/test.php

You cant just open test.php file using Chrome. PHP script needs to be executed by a PHP Compiler before you can see any output. If you simply open the PHP file in chrome, it will show you the PHP code only.
