Every PHP application is different, so you need to follow the instructions that
came with the application _closely_. That being said, installation is often just
a matter of setting those constants in the file you showed us with the correct
setting for the server, and then uploading the whole directory structure into a
directory in the public web directory for the application that you've created.
Many of the PHP files in an application will not display output when run. An
application can have many files, not all of which are designed to be run alone.
Programmers like to break reusable code into different files so that different
scripts can share common bits of code.
You should investigate different tools for working with PHP. Notepad and Word
are _not_ appropriate. At least look into a _text_ editor that supports Unix
line endings. The reason you are getting the boxes at the end of the code is
because the PHP code you have uses the Unix style line endings (\n) instead of
the Windows line endings (\n\r). A good text editor will be aware of this, even
if you're editing the file on Windows. Notepad is _not_ a good text editor. With
a little effort you should be able to find a tool to edit your PHP files that is
much more appropriate to what you're doing. Try Notepad++ or SciTE. If you're
looking to play with the big girls and boys, Zend puts out a nice PHP IDE, but
it's commercial software.
