    can php require any php file in my pc?

    Any file that the user whom the PHP program runs as has permission to access. (That is to say, filesystem permissions).

    how to prevent?

    Limit the permissions on the file system or chroot the server so it runs in a sandboxed environment. (I’ve no idea if chrooting is possible on Windows)

    it should not safe for web server.

    It is perfectly safe unless either:

    • You allow untrusted users to install their own PHP programs on your PC (but see also What do you recommend for setting up a shared server with php)
    • You allow file paths on your filesystem to be selected via unfiltered user input
