php not working Fedora 2 (blank screen)

I trying to learn how to use php. I am trying to display the simple command

<?
php_info();
?>

I saved it as info.php in /var/www/html/
When I open it in Mozilla all I get is a blank screen. I look at the source and all I have is
<HTML><BODY><</BODY></HTML>

I have tried to write other file and Mozilla asks if I want to save the file. In that code I was trying to open and change a text file.

Anyone have any ideas?

It should all be one word:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

That worked.

I think that the book I am reading is the problem and not the computer. I will try an new book. Thanks for your help.
