Barry, PHP is a programming language that is not run in the browser but by the web server. When you point your browser at the PHP page then the web server gets the page from the disk then uses the PHP code to create the HTML that is sent back.
Quanta is for editing HTML mainly or PHP code. To run your PHP code you will need to set it up so that a web server (usually Apache on Linux) will be able get to the page and you can point your browser to it with "http://"; preceding it not "file://". I believe that there are PHP debuggers but I haven't seen them run yet and I don't know much about them. These may be capable of what you want.
