Well, I am having problem while installing phpmyadmin to my linux system. I followed all the instruction from digital ocean. After, I verify it in the browser then it shows this kind of php code. Did I miss something during my installation? My version of php is 7 and I am using ubuntu 14.04.

    In case this helps someone else, I upgraded Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04 and when trying to bring up phpmyadmin at http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, php source code was being shown. Took a while to figure out the fix, which is below. 1. phpmyadmin.conf file location is at /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf. 2. Add Apache Include statement that indicates where phpmyadmin.conf file can be found. 2a. # File: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf 2b. Include /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf 3. http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin does display phpMyAdmin interface now. Commented Jul 6, 2017 at 12:51

Its seems that your server(Apache) is not recognizing php script as PHP language to be executed. At first check whether PHP is enable or not by running the following command in your terminal:

a2query -m php7.0

If it says somathing like PHP is not enable then run the following command:

sudo a2enmod php7.0

Then restart your Apache2 server with the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart

Try refreshing the phpmyadmin page now. Hope this will solve your problem. Best of luck

This one works for me sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
or just use sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php if you are not sure of the version. This worked for php8.0
i can recommend this. because it worked me also sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php

After you install php for (I'm assuming) Apache you need to restart the webserver for it to read the config files.

tbh, had to go through a lot of fixes and retries before, but this answer was the last thing that needed to be done.
Can't believe this worked for me, gosh I'm embarrassed.
