Are you trying to run the PHP files on your computer? In that case you have to set up a local server on it. XAMPP is an easy way of doing that, though it installs alot more than you need.

I downloaded PHP5 and The apache server.But i can't seem to get my configs right here it is. Pls edit my code so it's knows that php5 is installed .

## This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.# In particular, see # <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html># for a discussion of each configuration directive.## Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  ## Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"# with ServerRoot set to "C:/download/apache" will be interpreted by the# server as "C:/download/apache/logs/foo.log".## NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid# confusion.## ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum  number of requests a server process servesThreadsPerChild 250MaxRequestsPerChild  0## ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's# configuration, error, and log files are kept.## Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.#ServerRoot "C:/download/apache"## Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost># directive.## Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)##Listen 12.34.56.78:80Listen 80## Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support## To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a DSO you# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are used.# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need# to be loaded here.## Example:# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so#LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.soLoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.soLoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.soLoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so#LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so#LoadModule authn_anon_module modules/mod_authn_anon.so#LoadModule authn_dbm_module modules/mod_authn_dbm.soLoadModule authn_default_module modules/mod_authn_default.soLoadModule authn_file_module modules/mod_authn_file.so#LoadModule authz_dbm_module modules/mod_authz_dbm.soLoadModule authz_default_module modules/mod_authz_default.soLoadModule authz_groupfile_module modules/mod_authz_groupfile.soLoadModule authz_host_module modules/mod_authz_host.soLoadModule authz_user_module modules/mod_authz_user.soLoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so#LoadModule cern_meta_module modules/mod_cern_meta.soLoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so#LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so#LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so#LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.soLoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.soLoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so#LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so#LoadModule file_cache_module modules/mod_file_cache.so#LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.soLoadModule imagemap_module modules/mod_imagemap.soLoadModule include_module modules/mod_include.so#LoadModule info_module modules/mod_info.soLoadModule isapi_module modules/mod_isapi.soLoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.soLoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so#LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so#LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so#LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so#LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so#LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so#LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so#LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.soLoadModule negotiation_module modules/mod_negotiation.so#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.soLoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so#LoadModule speling_module modules/mod_speling.so#LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so#LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.soLoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so#LoadModule usertrack_module modules/mod_usertrack.so#LoadModule vhost_alias_module modules/mod_vhost_alias.so#LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so# 'Main' server configuration## The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a# <VirtualHost> definition.

Just put the php file in the htdocs folder (in the xampp foler) and go to http://localhost/nameofyourfile.php.You can use phpMyAdmin to manage MySQL databases in xampp (http://localhost/phpmyadmin/)
