PHP is a server side language, so cannot run within the browser as HTML does. You can however make a call to the PHP page within your HTML (using a form button or anchor link for example), and using Ajax (javascript) make the HTML show the response of the PHP program. The user will not know that the server side PHP program has been executed, as when using Ajax the browser does not load a new page.

You do not center any HTML constructs inside PHP itself. First of all its bad practice to mix php code with HTML, for that you can use a template engine like smarty.

Can safari open php files?

PHP is processed on the server side, not the browser side. This means that any browser (including Safari), never actually opens a PHP file (unless it's loaded locally rather than served from the web, in which case it would be read as a plain text file). Instead, it receives the output from the server that contains the PHP file. For example, if you have a PHP file that reads like this: <?php echo "<html>\n<body>\nI am the lizard queen!\n</body>\n</html>"; ?> Safari would actually see it as plain HTML, like this: <html> <body> I am the lizard queen! </body> </html> It would never actually see the PHP code itself.
