You're expecting things to work by magic. How do you suppose that
double-clicking a file is going to make the results display in a window
of another application?

I gave, in an earlier post, a simple ascii-art picture of how web pages
are served up. The only way you can avoid that [1] is if the file
extension is such that double-clicking the file opens it in a browser.
But in that case, *no* PHP execution will occur, the page will be
treated as if it contains *only* html. Browsers know nothing about PHP
and cannot do anything with it. The web server, by contrast, has as one
of its purposes to feed a requested page to the PHP interpreter, and
then feed the results of that back to your browser. Once the PHP has
run, there is no PHP left in the output stream, only the results.

[1] At least, this works on the Mac, I'm assuming the same is true for
other platforms.
