Why can't I run index.php?

Question

linux

Hello. I have such an unusual question, for some of you it will seem stupid, but not the point. Installed nginx v1.18.0 on my Ubuntu 20.04LTS. Set up the right places.
When I enter localhost in the address bar, if I have index.html the page is displayed, but if I have index.php, then this file is loaded. I do not know what to do. Help, I'm still new. I hope for your understanding and help.

Sincerely, M.A.

Set up nginx so that it feeds php files to the php interpreter. Here it is short and clear:
