If it says page not found, then you didn't put the file in the correct location.

Make sure your server is set to correctly parse PHP files.

Contact your host and ask him to make sure PHP is set up correctly.

If you are using localhost (i.e. your computer or a local server at your home), you will need to install PHP, Apache and MySQL before you will be able to view the file and test it against your PC/Server.

If you have a hosting account with a web hosting provider, then PHP, Apache and MySQL should be pre-installed and you should be able to upload the file via FTP and access it via yourdomain.com/file.php or yourIP/file.php.
