Use a search engine.

First link on Yahoo for "PHP Windows".

First link on Yahoo for "windows IIS PHP".

Also, if you have the money to buy Dreamweaver, it installs a local PHP server automatically if you ask it to, so you can run your files locally as well this way.
Or you can install apache and php on your machine. You can setup apache on your loopback adress 127.0.0.1.

Good luck!

I personally use the XAMPP package, which includes everything you will need for developing a web application in PHP (except the editor of course). It comes with apache, mysql, php, and some other stuff that I don't use :)

It's worked great for me, sure beats the old way of creating the PHP on my home PC and uploading it to a webhost and testing it there.

I personally use WAMP on my system to test all my php mysql stuffs. Takes seconds to install and run. I highly recommend it.
