true noob

Hey Everybody,
I am a true noob to MySql and PHP. I have been messing around with HTML and CSS for the last year or so and feel I have real solid grasp on that so it is time to move on! I just successfully installed Apache, PHP and MySql on my system and have started to mess around with it. I got this real basic code I was having trouble with and wondering if somebody could tell me what I am doing wrong. I am showing the contents of my html file and my php file. All I am trynig to do is display this guys name in the next screen. Thanks!:rock:

<html>
<head>
<title>welcome test</title>
<body>
<a href="welcome.php?firstname=Kevin&lastname=Yank">H i, I'm Kevin Yank! </a>
</body>
</html>

here is the php file.
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome test php doc</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
echo( "Welcome to our Web site,$firstname $lastname!" );
?>
</body>
</html>
