    If i know what your talking about, you will have to download PHP to be able to run it locally.

    HTML is merely rendered in the browser, but PHP needs to be parsed and that's not elegantly done in a Windows desktop environment. I assume this will be run on a hosted web server once it's tested. Do you have access on that server for another domain or subdomain to test it on? That's what I usually do. If I have a site that is live, such as example.com, I'll set up a subdomain, such as 2.example.com, or text.example.com. That way you also know not only that it'll work, but that it'll work in the same environment as the live version.
