ClosedPHP code not being executed (commented out)

Result
<–?
echo(‘wewe’);

The result of this small script is shown the code commented and not compiled.

could anyone help?

Thanks

try <?php echo('wewe'); php?>

It worked.

What do I need to do to work in the format I mentioned. Because I use wordpress and there is no way to change the tags of all files.

Thank you very much for your attention and help.
