Viewing my oscommerce site off-line?

Newbie here. Can someone please tell me how I can use Internet Explorer to view my site off-line. I want to be able to view my changes in html and php code before I actually upload changed files to my server but I can't figure out how to do it. Internet explore only wants to view html files but will not let me view a php file. When I try to view a php file IE just rolls over to wordpad and shows me the source code. I know this is a basic question but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You must install Apache Web Server, PHP and mySQL onto your local machine... as well as a complete copy of your website and database... for a newbie I recommend EasyPHP if you are running Windows - this will install all the above except for your website and database tables and data, but does also include phpmyadmin which is very useful - you can find it here:

Have fun!
