"Problem with PHP"

Hi.
I tried that php script that came with the freeola email, you know, the one about inserting an html file or a document anywhere on a page:



Then I'm saving the file as .php, but when I go to open it from the browser it opens Notepad. What am I doing wrong?

Get it at www.xitami.com.
