Testing PHP on Ubuntu with Apache2 and PHP7

I have installed Apache2 and PHP 7 with(sudo apt-get install php7.0 php7.0-mcrypt) on my machine. When I hit php -v in terminal, it return:

PHP 7.0.4-7ubuntu2.1 (cli) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

So then I created one PHP file at var/www/html/e.php with the below content:

  <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My first PHP page</h1>

<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>

</body>
</html>

When I open the browser (http://localhost/e.php), it does not show the php variable, just works the html tag. What am I missing? The Ubuntu "It Works" page of Apache works.

Thanks in advance.

You need to install PHP apache2 module to work with PHP. You can install libapache2-mod-php from your terminal by typing the command

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php

Apache will be restarted automatically and PHP then available.
