David, If the server is set up correctly, it interprets the PHP code and only sends an HTML stream to the browser. The only way the browser would see PHP is if the server is misconfigured. The browser will simply display it as it would HTML. It doesn't know PHP from plain text. Actually, the browser could not process PHP, since most of the resources needed are still on the server.

I don't understand: isn't the example I provided a php file?

I strongly suggest you do: "urpmi task-lamp" as this will install all the revenant packages. I strongly suspect you have not installed the apache-mod_php package. I should stress that you should *not* have to edit *any* files to get your system up and running. If you do edit files (especially your apache configuration) then you really do need to sit down and learn how everything works and how things fit together. As you're presumably just starting out, I'd recommend sticking to the basics, install task-lamp and then go from there.
