PHP server on local machine?
Is it possible to run .php files on my local computer? I know if i open up a web browser and enter the file location into the URL for HTML files, the html file will run and display. Is there a way to do the same with .php files?

php” file is placed inside the “htdocs” folder. If you want to run it, open any web browser and enter “localhost/demo. php” and press enter. Your program will run.
The preferred way of running PHP files is within a web server like Apache, Nginx, or IIS—this allows you to run PHP scripts from your browser. That's how all PHP websites work! The other way is to run PHP scripts on the command line, and it doesn't require you to set up a web server.
You can make a PHP script to run it without any server or browser. You only need the PHP parser to use it this way. This type of usage is ideal for scripts regularly executed using cron (on *nix or Linux) or Task Scheduler (on Windows). These scripts can also be used for simple text processing tasks.
Sure you just need to setup a local web server. Check out XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
That will get you up and running in about 10 minutes.
There is now a way to run php locally without installing a server: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21872484/672229

Yes but the files need to be processed. For example you can install test servers like mamp / lamp / wamp depending on your plateform.
Basically you need apache / php running.
