Simply install a web server, PHP, and a MYSQL database. I like customizing mine, but for simple use, you can use WAMP or LAMP (depending on the OS), OR you can use XAMPP.

For Macs, PHP is preinstalled, but you need to turn it on, and install MySQL or your favorite database. There is also MAMP, which is a separate version of Apache, MySQL and PHP.

Use Wamp. Download it from wampserver.com. Install it and copy your php code to a folder in WWW Folder in WAMP installation folder.

This topic has nothing to do with PHP code... moving the correct sub forum : Web Servers & Hosting

I use WAMP for my code.

once you have the code saved in WWW directory, go to your favorite browser (make sure to set your default to your favorite upon installation) and type in localhost/filename.php. That will run your script, pending syntax errors.

Or right click on the WAMP icon where your sound level is displayed and click localhost and select from a list of your files.

Also click phpMyAdmin for database! Very fun stuffz
