Are you accessing the scripts in a web browser ? if you just double
click the script it will send it to the PHP parser which runs it in the
DOS window. Goto http://localhost/ if you arent.

Alternatively, you may not be using a web server.  PHP will not display
in your browser without coming through a web server like Apache.  You
can download Apache from http://www.apache.org and there is information
for configuring it to work with php on the php website.
