You need 2 download a programme

The best bet would be to get xampp or wamp. just google them its a like a server you run on your home computer :D

I recomend you to read about this product first and then install it ;)

xampp ftw.

:)

I previously used Wamp but yeh xampp is alot better.

I needed to do this the other day and simply installed apache and php, placed the files in htdocs and I could open them through internet explorer... not sure if xampp is an addon to apache but I did not need anything like that.
