It is the preferred modern approach to keep HTML separate from PHP. There is a tutorial here.

I would be more concerned about your poorly formed HTML page. In particular, the values you echo will be beyond the closing HTML-tag, which is invalid. I appreciate that this is just a rough sample, but I feel obliged to advise you:

All pages should have a valid DOCTYPE declaration;
All pages require a TITLE tag;
Don't use redundant, non-semantic, BR tags - learn to use CSS to format your page for display;
Give your form an ID.

Well.. just to point you in the right direction:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>An Important Title</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    /* create your css rules here. Or, preferably,
     * in an attached stylesheet. */
    </style>
</head>
<body>
     <h1>Submit your information</h1>
	 
     <form id="frmFirst" action="FirstPage.php" method="post">
        <label for="firstname">First name:</label>
	    <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname">
        <label for="lastname">Last name:</label>
        <input type="text" name  = "lastname" id="lastname">
		<input type="submit" value="Submit">	
        <input type="reset"  value="Reset">						
	 </form>
 <?php
     if (isset($_POST['firstname']) && isset($_POST['lastname']) ) {
		echo  "<p>Firstname : {$_POST['firstname']}</p>" .
		       "<p>Lastname  : {$_POST['lastname']}</p>";
			   
		$firstName = $_POST['firstname'];
        if ( $firstName == 'mark' ) {
            echo 'hello loser';
        } else {
            echo 'Not gonna happen today';
        }	       
     }	 	 
 ?>
</body>
</html>
