you need a web server.
for learning google xampp or wamp
Your probably not previewing the file via through the server. What testing server are you using? Make sure your url is something like with http://localhost/filename.php. Where filename.php is your file. Also make sure the file is saved in your htdocs folder.
Goto sourceforge.net and get the DevPHP IDE package, will give you a LocalHost server you can run your script on as part of the package, code highlighting, context help
