If that is verbatim then that is the problem.  Note the syntax errors
in the above.  Try this verbatim instead.

   <?php phpinfo(); ?>


Also the file extension must be .php.

does not work in /var/wwww (with 644 permissions)

How did /var/www get 644 permissions?  That is also incorrect.

   chmod u=rwx,go+rx /var/www


'x' is not required for Apache php scripts. Unlike PHP CLI, the script itself is not an executable file (note the lack of a shebang).

The ownership is not critical.


On a shared web server, ownership is critical. The file should not be owned by the web server, but the web server should be in a group that has read access to the file. This prevents other users from accessing the file.

Where is the magic?

Not breaking it! :-) :-)
