But that question was wrong in so many ways that you can't tell
where to start with an answer, aside from it not having a lot
to do specifically with Centos.
That's not html.
You can't expect firefox to do anything with it.
If he did name the file with a .php extension and let apache serve
it, he didn't mention the reason the logfile showed for why it
didn't work.
The centos-related answers that might apply:
yum install php php-mysql mysql mysql-server
and disable selinux until you understand it.
