On windows you must have used  wamp or xammp, you would have placed the .php
files in some directory like wamp/www or something similar. It is the
location where apache looks for the php files as it cannot randomly search
your hard disk for files ;-).

Similarly on Linux there are specific locations where apache looks for these
files. This may vary from system to system and even you may change it. Look
at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. DO NOT try to change anything. It may leave
your apache unworkable. This location is often called 'Document root'.

Default locations on various systems:
1. Fedora/centos: /var/www/html
2. Ubuntu: /var/www
3. openSUSE: /srv/www/htdocs

You can contact me off-list also, if you found anything difficult to
understand.
