Php is very easy to install and configure. All you need do is read the installation manual. Since you are using windows, its always good to install Apache (thats is, if your are using apache) server first. Make sure the php version settings is compactible with the version of apache you installed. If you still have problem, i can help you.

The site is working go for it, i've downloaded and install it for someone.

or better still www.easyphp.org I prefer reactorserver since its more uptodate than easyphp.

What you have to know is that PHP is a web development language. You need a webserver ike IIS5 or higher(Internet Informatioin Services), and a version of php that works with it. you can also use Apache whice is the default webserver that works with PHP and the world most widely use Webserver. Then you would need a databse if you want to develope webapplications and the besst for this is MYSQL. After you download a version of php that is suitable for you i would advice that you download version 4 then read through the installation help that comes withthe downloaded zip file. There are two kinds of installation you will find out. More.

Things could be much easier for you if you download one of the packages with PHP online like WAMP and there are a bulk of them. But if you do this you will not understand how to work with you PHP ini file which is important.

The mehtod where you do everything yourself is the prefered method of PHP.
