You can run php from the command line. I have no idea how you
do this if you are stuck in a GUI like Windows, but if you can
reach a command line prompt (and assuming php is in your path)
simply enter
php yourscript.php
where yourscript.php is, of course some script you have written.
redirect the output where you please:
php yourscript.php > mydoc.html

I suggest you do not try to generate html pages immediately.
Try to get
<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
to run first.
