    Installing Apache

    The best way to test PHP files is on a webserver... you can run PHP not on a webserver but its weird. Your best bet is the pre-configured servers I posted URIs to earlier.

    PHP vs HTML

    I dont quite understand why you are trying to do? Are you wanting to have a button that you can click and it puts some text into a textbox on your webpage. If so then thats best done with Javascript anyway rather than PHP as you wont need to refresh the page if you use javascript :)

    DIVS or Tables

    which type of photo is best for sharing mean to say .BMP/.JPG/GIF?

    My personal choice in PNG which actually has proper alpha transparency (GIF is not fully working) but as far as photos go the standard is JPG. I wouldnt use GIF for photos and BMP isnt really a great format anyway, just more microsoft junk :P

    Problem with Firefox displaying background

    My advice would be to make sure the site works in Firefox first... as most web developers agree that firefox renders correct CSS then add IE conditional stuff that fixes it for interenet explorer.

    Coding Problem

    Possibly due to the script that you need to use being called in the <head> section which I presume will also be loading with the template. You would need to see if there is a way to edit the template manually in order to add the code so that you can use the JS functions.
