PHP... Is my web host the problem?

I am trying to go through some simple php tutorials for begginers but when I load a php document in my browser I either get a blank page in the browser or dreamweaver opens the php and gives me a blank page!

An example of one of the turorials I tried was to save the below code into a file named 'Test.php':

Code:

<HTML><BODY>
<? echo date("M-d-Y");
echo "<P>";
echo "Your IP Address is " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>
</BODY></HTML>

I then uploaded Test.php to my site (National Vehicle Movements - Home) but when loading the page http://www.n-v-m.co.uk/Test.php into my browser I just get a blank screen!!

My web host is 123-reg | Domain names | Domain name registration and is supposed to be compatible with PHP5 ... Will the problem be with my web host or could it be something else I am doing wrong?
