Possibly because you don't have a web server that's integrated with the
php (or any web server at all).
You need a webserver of some sort running on the machine to handle http
requests. The webserver then has to know how to call the php handler for
web pages with php code.
At the moment you probably have php installed as a scripting language.
If you want to play with a php / apache / mysql environment, google for
"wamp" (Windows Apache Mysql Php)
