phpMyAdmin PHP Files Do Not Execute They Rather Get Opened in the Browser

The title describes the question.

I have PHP installed, Apache, MySQL and also phpMyAdmin in the htdocs folder of Apache. I installed them separately and do not use a compilation package. I did try to create a php file with phpinfo, which works and showcases that PHP is installed properly, though when I access:

localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/index.php

The file becomes opened in the browser and does not get executed, which means I am seeing the source code - though the same does not happen with phpinfo php file.

Any ideas why?

Check that php short tags are enabled in the php.ini. If that senario stands, restart apache and you will be ok.
