it is not neccessary to install apache, however you need to install PHP packages to execute PHP files.
If you want to install apache, check out httpd.apache.org. But note that even if you install apache, you will still have to install PHP. Check out www.php.net for more info.
When I save text file, its icon changes and becomes the icon of php,
but if I open the file with web browser the screen id blank. I think I have to install apache server
If you want to use it for system administration - see the link above. However, as far as I know, if you want php to be executed in a web browser you'd normally need a server like apache as PHP (unlike javascript, CSS, etc) runs on the server side and passes the result to a browser.
