Ok I've never been able to figure out how to view php on my computer. Is there something I need to download before being able to view the files?

PHP is a server side language - and needs to run on a server. You can turn your computer into a server of course and then the PHP will be parsed before they are shown into your browser.

While I have not messed around too much with PHP, I did a couple of searches and found A simple tutorial - hopefully that is a start. Degsy or Gary should be around tomorrow hopefully for more information.

You need to download Apache or if you have Windows XP professional, you can install IIS and then install PHP
