Do I need any special software to get this to work?

I am afraid that I simply open notepad type the PHP program and save it with php extension. Then I open it with the browser as a HTML file. But it does not work.

Please help

    However you decide to install a webserver and php (or just php and use it in the console like someone mentioned):

    Apache (Very, very easy)

    1. Check out the WampServer getting started presentation.
    2. Download and install WampServer.
    3. And you are ready to go.

    Microsoft (Not tested this myself)

    1. Check out PHP on Windows.
    2. Download and install the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
    3. Let me know how that work out… (never tried it myself, since WampServer is so easy)
