You need some server software as well.

PHP is likely installed in C:\php if you didn't change anything during the install.

Note that you don't need server software to use PHP. It's perfectly suited for the command line and you could even build your own HTTP, SMTP (granted this project doesn't work quite yet), and even DNS servers with it.

when I started in php, I had the same problem, it was rather complicated to get running, but then i found this:

it is apache, php, mysql, and filezilla all in one package. if you're running windows, it's super easy to install and you'll have php working in no time.

here is the documentation
