PHP is strictly server side. You must have a server to "interpret" it. You can embed html code within your php code, but if you don't have a server and it's a .php extension, it'll spit your code back at you (or ask you to download it). Just install apache (server) if you want php to run on your pc.

In a sense, it is still server side. Its just making your computer the server. Client side usually referrers to the clients computer, or browser for that matter.
For windows, a simple program with Apache/Mysql/Php is
Xampp. I used it when i first started years ago.
