How do I get this php form to work?

This is a zip that seems pretty simple, but I can't get it to work. Am I supposed to place the php file in a php folder? My server is my own. So what do I need to do? I gotta figure out how to create my own email form.
thanks for any help. Here is the file.

I am not fmailiar with php, but it can't be that hard right, help!!!

PHP needs to be installed on your server and configured to work with the web server that it uses. The best place to start is by going to PHP.net and downloading the appropriate install package for your OS. Post what OS and web server you are using if you are unsure what to download and install. Once PHP is installed, your web server will be able to parse and display PHP pages. Just so you have a little insight into what PHP is, it is a server side programming language that allows you to dynamically generate web pages using built in funtions and database connections... very powerful and flexible...

Thanks BlindEddie,
I use OS XP Pro to do my web work. As for what the OS our server is using hmmm... I will have to look into that. either Win NT or XP

go to php.net and click on downloads on the top navigation bar. look for a heading "Windows binaries" and click on the PHP 4.3.2 installer. This is the most basic PHP installation for windows, and it will get you started. During the installation, you may get an error that says an activeX control is missing and the installation could not be completed...do not freak, I have gotten this message several times installing on different servers and there are instructions on how to install it manually in a file called install.txt that can be found in the php directory. look for the section regarding windows and follow the steps there. If you get stuck, let me know and I will try to walk you through it. It might seem a little daunting at first, but the install is easy. let me know if you need any additional info..
