There are two ways.

First is to run via command prompt. Open the command prompt and enter
```
C:\php\php.exe -f "Path to the php file"
```
More info here -> <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PHP: Command Line PHP on Microsoft Windows - Manual</a>

Other method is installing Apache and transforming your computer to webserver. After that, you'll be able to use your browser to execute php scripts on localhost same as you do while visiting any website.

You can also download wamp and place ur php files inside the www folder and on ur local machine after starting the apache server of wamp , hit localhost:8080/test.php(test.php is the file placed in the www directory)

XAMPP is better choice. I've used it & it works great.

To run server based scripts like PHP you will need a local server which has the needed packages of Apace, PHP as they are needed for you. WAMP, XAMPP are among the popular windows based web development environments using which you can run your PHP scripts pretty much easily without much configuration required.

Download them here - <a href="https://www.wampserver.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WampServer, la plate-forme de développement Web sous Windows - Apache, MySQL, PHP</a> or <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">XAMPP download | SourceForge.net</a>

Uninstall everything mate. Download WAMP from the given link. Install it and let the location be the default one which is C:\wamp.

Then after installation go to Start -> All Programs -> Wamp Server -> Start Wamp Server
Then a notification icon will appear beside the time in the bottom corner of your screen and if it turns green then the server is online, else close any chat applications like Skype or Yahoo which will occupy the default port.

Now if it is green go to C:\wamp and then in the www folder create a new folder of your specified name say example and then put the .php in there.

Now go to the browser and type #-Link-Snipped-# and it should work 10% 😀

i am karthik first you want to check whther the browser is php enabled or not using simple html coding.next php is an server side scripting language so you need to create one server then only you can run the php coding

to run php you need server. there are some local servers...try easyphp

1)download it from <a href="https://www.easyphp.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">EasyPHP - Code with Devserver & host with Webserver</a>

install it.

2)save your php files in'my portable files' directory under C: drive.
Following is path..

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-12.1\www\my portable files

3)run easyphp .

4)start Apache server..right click on '"e" icon'/'Apache btton'... select 'local web' options from drop down menu..

browser will get opened..click on portable files....select your file name...

see output..😀

Hi, before entering in to php first of all you need some basic knowledge about HTML, CSS and mySql server. then You can enter in to php by creating a basic registration form with name, email etc and try to save that fields in the mysql server. Please refer the tutorial below which is the best tutorial to learn basics of HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL and some Jquery, Javescripts. 😀

Thanks!
