PHP 7 doesn't work on linux Mint 18

[ghbook]

On a fresh install of Mint 18 cinnamon, i installed, in order to use phpmyadmin, apache2, mysql and php.
But php doesn't work properly.The .php files are not parsed, and phpmyadmin doesn't work of course. Instead i can read only the code displayed.
any ideas of what's wrong ?
Thanks

Step by step tutorial.

Does apache work ?

http://localhost should give the apache page.
For apache logs see under /var/log folder search for apache for the logs.

Apache works properly ( i see /var/www/html/index.htlm) and mysql too.
I did a fresh install of Mint 18 Cinnamon. Previously i used 17 but, instead of upgrading, i preferred to do so.
I tried to install a php script (cmsimple) in the /var/www/html/ directory, it doesn't work. I think apache can't parse php files properly.
Years ago, i used linux as a server, and i knew where to seek for inappropriate configuration, for instance tell apache to parse .php files. But now, the apache configuration files are quite different, and i don't understand everything....

This is apache conifiguration. The version is 2.4

Many thanks
I completely removed phpmyadmin and php, then reinstalled the packages.
It works fine...
