Couldn't agree more! In this context, php is a server side language,
and you're looking at it directly with a client browser. For example,
how on earth would you expect the client to handle database access to
a (now remote and inaccessible ) database??

The php _generates_ the html that your browser sees. To do this, it
needs to have the support of a php enabled html server. 

Why not build yourself a local apache server with php support, and use
that to serve the php towards Mozilla, and then see whether it works.
You'll find details at http://httpd.apache.org/, and
http://www.php.net/downloads.php
