What are you doing, just opening the file off the filesystem? That's not how
it works - you need to configure Apache to run PHP, and access the pages
through your local Apache - most likely as http://localhost/.

Start here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php

... and bear in mind you want to run as an "Apache module" and not as a "CGI
binary", so pick the bits of the documentation above appropriately.
