HTML is a "Hyper Text" display language and can be only used to display text in a formated manner via a web browser. PHP is the most widely used scripting language and can be used on the command line to produce local results or serve the results to a web browser request via the internet/intranet . i.e. format and display a page viewable with a web browser. However, if you want to serve the html up to web clients you will need to do so via a web server.
You can use the code you supplied but you have to display it with a web browser. The web browser will read the tags and display the contents without displaying the tags.
Simply put - scripts are used to perform tasks and commands and the html tags are used to display results in a formatted fashion with a web broweser.

FLUSH(3) 1 FLUSH(3)
flush - Flush system output buffer
SYNOPSIS
void flush (void )
DESCRIPTION
Flushes the system write buffers of PHP and whatever backend PHP is using (CGI, a web server, etc). This attempts to push current output
all the way to the browser with a few caveats.
flush(3) may not be able to override the buffering scheme of your web server and it has no effect on any client-side buffering in the
browser. It also doesn't affect PHP's userspace output buffering mechanism. This means you will have to call both ob_flush(3) and flush(3)
to flush the ob output buffers if you are using those.
Several servers, especially on Win32, will still buffer the output from your script until it terminates before transmitting the results to
the browser.
Server modules for Apache like mod_gzip may do buffering of their own that will cause flush(3) to not result in data being sent immedi-
ately to the client.
Even the browser may buffer its input before displaying it. Netscape, for example, buffers text until it receives an end-of-line or the
beginning of a tag, and it won't render tables until the </table> tag of the outermost table is seen.
Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer will only start to display the page after they have received 256 bytes of output, so you may
need to send extra whitespace before flushing to get those browsers to display the page.
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
