PHP on Front Page HELP

[WCH]

I am trying to setup my XP Pro system at home to code PHP for a dbase
website project. I am not running any kind of server from my house and just
plan on doing a chunk of the coding here...then transfering it over to the
server. I have dl'ed and installed the windows installer of PHP 4.3.1 (we
aren't using the latest version). But when I rung the simplest of php
scripts...nothing shows in the html (i.e. <?php print "Hello World." ?>).
I've added the php directory to my path in hopes that this would fix my
problem...but it hasn't.

So basically, how can I setup my home pc to recognize php for coding
purposes without running a server? I would just like to be able to use
front page to edit and view.

Thanks in advance.

You have remembered to name the files whatever.php right?

And you must have a webserver, that could be Personal Webserver or IIS (any
Windows server installation or Windows 2000 / XP Professsional).
