PHP is a server-side language and you should be accessing them through a server, not clicking them in a file browser.

You still shouldn't be, it wouldn't be parsing the PHP code that way. In reality you should have a testing server, either a seperate machine or just install PHP and Apache or lighttpd or on Windows use IIS and access the files by pointing your web browser at 'localhost'.
