Hence, you can open php files with Windows 10 supplied Notepad or Wordpad. Third party editors such as Notepad++ are generally used to code with these kind of files. You can start Notepad or Wordpad > File > Open > Select the php file and open.
PHP's Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to execute PHP scripts when logged in to your server through SSH. ServerPilot installs multiple versions of PHP on your server so there are multiple PHP executables available to run.
You need to add your PHP installation directory to the %PATH% environment variable, or work from the PHP installation directory.
To add it to path (The best approach - Edited for Windows 7):
