The PHP Scripts aer server-side programs, so the are interpreted by the server ( actually the interpreter that is called by the server ) and the results ( only ) of the execution are returned to the user .. so IE5 have nothing to do with this ..
You have to install the PHP interpreter as described in the Readme file that comes with it.
after you do all the steps as descibed you must start your server ( PWS ) and type this in the URL box for the browser ( http://localhost/first.php3 ) and you should see youre documnet interpreted there !
