View in Browser

I have created my first PHP project and proceeded to click 'View in Browser'. All I get is a file named menu.php to which to download. Opening the file, I can see the code. But it will not display in my browser. I have XP Pro, and IIS is started. What else must be running in order for my browser to display this file.
As a note, the project was created using 'Connect to Remote MySQL Database'. So the data is not on my local XP machine. However, I don't believe that is the problem. I am assuming that either my browser or iis is not configured to view .php files.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
