they're part of the free system LAMP (Linux, Apache, mySQL and PHP)

Or WAMP (Windows, Apache, mySQL and PHP)...

I use a WAMP-style setup and home and it's great. Screw ISS ;)


After getting Apache installed (and getting it to play nice with mod_PHP5), you just save your page to the web-server's directory (something like C:\program files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs) and open up your browser and can view your PHP pages by typing in something like: http://localhost/mytestpage.php

[EDIT] If you don't like the idea of installing Apache/PHP/MySQL yourself (and configuring them to all work together), then google should be able to locate you an all-in-one installer, such as this one.
