PHP is a server side scripting language.  When you open HTML files
by double clicking on them on they loaded straight into IE 
(ie. there is no server processing).

As far as I know you need a web server installed to see the results 
of php scripts in a web browser.  
There might be ways around this but I don't know.  Maybe some PHP 
IDE's allow the processing of PHP scripts inside html files??  

You should probably also do some reading about PHP and web 
development, I'm sure they are heaps of resources available on the net.
You should probably also ask your questions on a PHP list ... 
I'm happy to answer your questions ... but this isn't a PHP list!).
