PHP only kicks in because the web-server (Apache or IIS or Xitami or
OmniHTTP or whatever) sees the .php extension and hands off the file to PHP.
If your browser is looking directly at a PHP file, there's no web-server
involved, so nobody "knows" to fire up PHP.
If you're trying to do some development on your Win98 box, you'll have to
install some sort of web-server.
Apache is free, painless to install, and in all other respects, superior to
all the other options :-)

After you install Apache, you'll need to edit the "httpd.conf" file to make
Apache aware that you are using PHP, and then you'll need to surf to your
own little web-server using:
http://127.0.0.1/whatever.php
127.0.0.1 is always the computer you are using.
