PHP doesn't run in your browser, or indeed in anyone's browser. You need
to be running server software such as apache:

+--------------+ +----------------+
| | | |
| Your | | Web Server |
| machine +------- Internet -----------------+ running apache |
| and | | (your web page |
| browser | | is here too) |
| | | |
+--------------+ +----------------+

The web server can be your own machine but this doesn't alter the basic
approach.
