apachePHPphp-7phpspreadsheet

[checking for Apache 2.0 handler-module support via DSO through APXS…

Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow:

Perl is not installed
apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using –with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
Apache was not built using –enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)

The output of /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs follows:
./configure: line 6199: /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs: No such file or directory
configure: error: Aborting]

it is the error suggest me the solution for this.

When httpd -l does not list mod_so.c, DSO won't work, because it's an essential prerequisite; according to the documentation. Otherwise APXS can be installed with the package manager:

sudo dnf install httpd-devel (CentOS)
sudo apt-get install apache2-dev (Ubuntu)

This installs it as /usr/bin/apxs and ./configure --with-apxs works (without passing a path). One does not even have to install httpd / apache2, in order to use it's development tools - which then can be used to configure PHP with APXS.

PHP code is not being executed, but the code shows in the browser source code

Sounds like there is something wrong with your configuration, here are a few things you can check:

Make sure that PHP is installed and running correctly. This may sound silly, but you never know. An easy way to check is to run php -v from a command line and see if returns version information or any errors.
Make sure that the PHP module is listed and uncommented inside of your Apache's httpd.conf This should be something like LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll" in the file. Search for LoadModule php, and make sure that there is no comment (;) in front of it.
Make sure that Apache's httpd.conf file has the PHP MIME type in it. This should be something like AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. This tells Apache to run .php files as PHP. Search for AddType, and then make sure there is an entry for PHP, and that it is uncommented.
Make sure your file has the .php extension on it, or whichever extension specified in the MIME definition in point #3, otherwise it will not be executed as PHP.
Make sure you are not using short tags in the PHP file (<?), these are not enabled on all servers by default and their use is discouraged. Use <?php instead (or enable short tags in your php.ini with short_open_tag=On if you have code that relies on them).
Make sure you are accessing your file over your webserver using an URL like http://localhost/file.php not via local file access file://localhost/www/file.php

And lastly check the PHP manual for further setup tips.

Php – find php.ini

On the command line execute:

php --ini

You will get something like:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File:         /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d
Additional .ini files parsed:      /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/curl.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/pdo.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/pdo_sqlite.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/sqlite.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/sqlite3.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini,
/etc/php5/cli/conf.d/xsl.ini

That's from my local dev-machine. However, the second line is the interesting one. If there is nothing mentioned, have a look at the first one. That is the path, where PHP looks for the php.ini file.

You can grep the same information using phpinfo() in a script and call it with a browser. It’s mentioned in the first block of the output. php -i does the same for the command line, but it’s quite uncomfortable.
