phpinfo() is not working on my CentOS server

I have PHP installed on my CentOS server. However, when running a phpinfo() inside my script to test it, I receive the HTML, not the interpreted information.

I can see the folders for PHP. I can even see the php.ini in the etc folder. But PHP itself does not seem to be working.

I mean my test.php file looks like this:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

And the response looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;}
body, td, th, h1, h2 {font-family: sans-serif;}
pre {margin: 0px; font-family: monospace;}
a:link {color: #000099; text-decoration: none; background-color: #ffffff;}
...

and so on.

What seems to be the problem and how do I solve it?

If I copy the HTML returned, paste it into an HTML file, and run it from there, I can see the formatted result, but not by running the test.php. I assume PHP is not loaded somehow… even if in the interpreted HTML I can see the:

and so on…

On this system, there are three websites hosted. Does that have anything to do with this problem?
