php files are text files with the php code so they can be made just like a text file.
for xampp, php files can be added to htdocs folder to get the required results.
check below simple php file (hello.php) to get "hello world" message.
from your response, it appears that xampp is correctly installed and running.

Even i am facing the same problem as the OP is facing, but mine is a problem at grassroot level. After running http://localhost/ i get an error as shown below
i installed IIS 7 on windows 7 and did everything possible to get the localhost starting(switching off apppool and turning on). Even i wanted to run php files but my localhost itself is not responding so cant execute .php files too..
after running eventvwr, i found the error under System and not application. The error states as below.
Now what should i do?? I even tried with xampp and easyphp but for both, my apache server does not start. I get an error port 80 is akready being used or being blocked by firewall(i checked my KIS and added port 80 to 'Allow') but still get an error.

for easyphp, uncheck "Check server's TCP port before starting" on its configuration
for xampp, check this link : xampp port conflict
