Heya, tochiunamka.

All you have to do is upload the file to your webserver. From there, you should be good to go; just punch the URL into your browser's address bar.

You might have to fix permissions on the file, but if you can get it working on your local system, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

well, the php file has to be on a machine that has php installed...yes , this would be your web server...upload it the same way you upload other web files

You can test It locally by setting up a web server that support php engine on it.
If you need to put it to internet try a FTP client (open source) like filezilla
Hope this may helps too.
