For PHP file to run in the browser you have to have a running web server on the machine. I use Fedora and Apache (and Mysql as a database). So check if you have some sort of web server (i.e. Apache or LAMP) installed and started. You can install a web server using software management utility on Ubuntu.

I use Apapche on Fedora and to browse my local PHP scripts I put them in /var/www/html directory (configurable in Apache) and then they can be viewed in browser through http://localhost address. Hope this late reply helps.

In Eclipse:
run->run configurations
Do server configuration (use selected server->configure)
Then run active file using these configs
