i'm new to this whole php thing and i wanted to know if there is any way that i can write php and see it without uploading it onto a server.
Well you need something to run the PHP code, you can download a windows version of PHP from the site and install apache, or just run the command line from DOS, I recommend setting up a server on your local machine or if you have a spare machine install linux on it and use it as a development machine with apache php and mysql (LAMP). This has worked well for me and enables me to work even when the internet and/or server is down
Easiest way (on windows) would be to download and install XAMPP or WAMP.

Or if you are on a Mac - there's MAMP:
