    Download any 'APCHE,PHP,Mysql' installer like-xampp or vertrigoServ and install it.Then write your PHP codes in notepad or any other editor.save the PHP files in htdocs folder(xamp) or in www folder(vertrigoServ).
    You have to write http://localhost/yourphpfilename.php in your browser's address bar and go.
    I am using vertrigoServ because it is cool :D
    Hope it will help :)

    the easiest way to install php is to download & install XAMPP:

    http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

    they have installer, very easy to install and there are distributions for windows, linux, Mac OS X & Solaris. XAMPP is free of charge

    it contains: Apache, MySQL, PHP + PEAR, Perl, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mercury Mail Transport System for Win32 and NetWare Systems v3.32, Ming, JpGraph, FileZilla FTP Server, mcrypt, eAccelerator, SQLite, and WEB-DAV + mod_auth_mysql.
