It seems your question is very much older. But I just saw it. I searched(not in google) and found My Answer.

So I am writing its solution so that others may get help from it.

Here is my solution.

Unlike the other answers, you don't need to setup environments.

all you need is just to write php index.php if index.php is your file name.

then you will see that, the file compiled and showing it's desired output.
