    I need to be able to run, and test my scripts on my computer. I want to be able to click a file with the .php extension and have it automatically work within my browser. Can someone help me do this? It is really important that I get this help as soon as possible.

    Check out xampp, with that you can run your own server on your pc.

    You have to save the files in your XAMPP directory, in:

    [drive]:\Program files\XAMPP\htdocs\

    Then you have to go to http://localhost/ and run the files from there.
