hi,
it such nice thing that you are learning PHP,

following thing you have must to run your program,

1) in simple way you have to install WAMP(Windows, Apache,
Mysql, PHP) in your windows based system, if you are using
linux then install LAMP.

2) after complete the installation on your system you to run
the WAMP,

3) create the PHP file and save it to your default location
directory(c:/wamp/www/filename.php)

4) after that open your browser, and type http://localhost
and press enter, or you can directly type the file name like
(http://localhost/filename.php)

5) you have to must aware that where and how you save your
file, if you cared a directory the you have to type the URL
on you browser (http://localhost/directory name/filename.php)
