generally pressing F5 should start your browser pointing to the current
HTML file. Instead of pressing F5 you can also use the file menu
Build->Execute or the Execute icon in the toolbar.

If it doesn't work open the preferences dialog and the browser setting
in the Tools tab.

The above should work with any HTML file.

PHP files can also be executed but by default it is assumed to execute
them directly with the PHP command line interpreter. To open them in a
web browser with a specific URL (file:// isn't suitable in most cases)
you have to edit the filetype definition file for the PHP filetype.
For details of finding and editing this file please read [1].
There is an example at the end of the file which demonstrates how to
use a local webserver for parsing PHP files. I hope this helps a bit.

Regards,
Enrico
