Jasber is liked by many
You have to actually install a webserver on your home computer.

The most popular webserver would be Apache

Then you would be able to goto http://localhost/phpscript.php

www.foxserv.net is what I've always used.. comes as a package with apache, php, mysql, etc.. don't let the current site scare you - click on the old support forum which has quite a bit of information and development stuff.

If the purpose of the server is mainly to make PHP alive on the developet workstation then I would suggesst Xitami web server. It's smaller than Apche, uses less resources, processes page requests up to 90% faster than Apache and it's pretty easy to use.

This is especially useful when the server and the client are on the same machine, and when the OS is Windows - makes things faster and more responsive.

1. Install MySQL Server
2. Install Apache/Xitami...
3. Install PHP
4. Configure httpd.conf file for Apache
a.) Make a root folder, where you will put your files

now if you want to see the code, open it in Editplus/Notepad/TextPad andything.

And if you want to see the result..open the browser. http://localhost/testyourfile.php

I Use easyPHP, it installs PHP and MySQL - Great for tests.
you can then run the webserver using http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/
