If you're on Windows, make sure you have PHP installed and type this into a command prompt:

C:\Path\To\php.exe C:\Path\To\Your\script.php

(source: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php)

And on Linux/Unix: php /path/to/script.php

Then there must be something wrong with your code. Would you care sharing your code?
