Other answerers: Don't answer if you can't explain yourself properly.

PHP scripts need to be run through a webserver running the PHP interpreter. So first get a webserver. The standard and most common is Apache (http://apache.org/ ). You want the HTTP server. You'll need to install PHP on it, so get it at http://php.net/ Install PHP and now you can run php scripts on the server.

Google for tutorials on setting up Apache with PHP if you need more information. If this still seems like too much work, try XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html ) although it is definitely unsuitable for production usage and advanced or specialized development machines.

For running your script on your computer you need a web server.
Personally I'm using xampp that is a combination of Apache as a webserver, mysql as popular database and a ftp and mail server.

To use this you can download it from
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

I prefer to download 7-zip file that can directly download it by this link:
http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.5.5.exe

After downloading execute the file to make xampp folder and then run setup_xampp.bat on that folder.

to start web server use xampp-control.exe and start the apache with the button in front of its name.

All think is ready to use just copy your file to htdocs folder and in you browser(for example IE) type
http://127.0.0.1/yourfile.php

I hope this answer be useful for you
