    In order to run php pages locally on your pc you must install and configure apache (or something similar) and php. Do a google search to learn more...
    Another way is to upload your files on a free host and test them there.

    PHP does'nt seem enabled or misconfigured.

    You can use XAMPP for your localhost they supply an auto installer.

    XAMPP is a must have for beginner programmers. It also has a link to a phpinfo() page so you see how your PHP is set up. Although out of the box is fine for most folks.

    If you dont fancy installing XAMPP you can just create a file with the following code in, and it will render a page with all of your PHP.ini files in it.

    <?php echo phpinfo();?>

    See how you get on.
