[Trouble with setup]

i dont know i am really new to this i am a more general programer and havent done much with html java css or php so i dont know what is required to run php files

[Trouble with setup]

I am sort of new to all this web design i am working on my own website as well using my own pc as a server and i can not seem to get php to work in Firefox or IE when i open it in IE it asks me to download and if i am in firefox it dose nothing i have even tryed a simple hello world or echo command and i cant get it to work i imagine it has something to do with where and how it is referencing the file cause i am working on the web site on a different pc then the server because i prefer working on this one and dont want to clutter the other one up with programs i dont know why my browsers arnt reading php i have them all updated and it isnt like websites with php dont work

 

i have tryed and tryed but it dosnt seem to want to work and i am just sitting here scraching my head cause i dont know what to do...... :'(
