the easiest way is to save all your files with extension  .php 
 
code not surrounded by <?php ?> will not be parsed by the php engine. 
 
so for your example 
 
<html> 
<head> 
<title>title text</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
Your name is <?php print $name; ?> 
You firstname is <?php print $firstname; ?> 
</body> 
</html> 
 
save as php 
 
 
you could also save as .html (not recomended), but in that case you  
have to change your apache webser to handle the .html file as php 
 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
