New Topic/Question

I am a new guy in web programming who still learning new stuff. I am creating a web form that consist of one INPUT. I connected the form in the HTML file to the php file. I am using a localhost MAMP that I recently installed on my MacBook. When I open the HTML file on a webpage and type something on the input box and hit submit, the browser ask me to download the php file rather processing it. I don’t think the problem is related to mysql or apache since when I run the MAMP it give me green signs next to the apache and mysql. The following is the whole script for the HTML file as well as the PHP file. Do anyone know how I can fix this problem and let the php file open and transfer inputs to the database?
<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'newdb');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
$link = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die('Can\'t use ' . DB_NAME . ': ' . mysql_error ());
}
$value = $_POST['firstname'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (firstname) VALUES ('$value')";
if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close();
?>
