running PHP on Windows XP

I installed Apache/MySQL/PHP on Windows XP. There was one problem.
Microsoft IIS 4 or higher was defaultly selected for MySQL. It did not
work.

When I double-click a PHP file, a lightning-fast MS-DOS window opens
and closes. When I go to start, then go to run, then type "cmd", then
type the PHP file path, I take a long time to see what happened.

I want my PHP file to work on my browser offline just like uploading
and visiting my PHP file on a web host with my browser online. In other
words, I want the interactivity of my site to happen in my computer.

How can I do that?
