What's Wrong with this code?

"Hello World doesn't print out. Instead I get.

Index of /

Index.php composer.json composer.lock vendor/

Here is the very simple code according to the video.

<?php

echo 'Hello World!';

?>

It looks like an issue with Composer, are you using Composer with your project?

Yes, I am using composer. Thanks for the response. It seems I have to click the Index.php file in order to see the "Hello World." Maybe the video is off?

Not sure what you mean, but yes you would have to run index.php either in a local server environment (WAMP, MAMP, etc.) or online on a server that supports PHP to see your PHP executed.
