First off, you're looking at PHP from the point of a client-side designer
(a very common mistake).
PHP runs off of a server, not off of your browser. You need a web server
program in order to "see" the PHP files, or more accurately stated, the
output of the PHP files (which renders as normal HTML). Fortunately, many
free servers out there exist, such as Microsoft Personal Web Server and/or
Apache. You also have to configure these servers to run PHP (not a
completely easy task, but not difficult either).
I'd suggest looking at http://www.php.net/manual/en/installation.php to
learn how to install PHP.
As far as the Access goes, yes you can, but you need to configure it
through ODBC. Check out http://www.php.net/FAQ.php#4.2.
