Is there a way to view pages created PHP on my WIN XP machine?
Is there an addin for IE or Netscape 7.2 that will allow me to do this?
 
You would need to install, a Web server such as Apache, and the PHP package. Since PHP is a server side language it requires a server to run. It can be a local server installed on your machine.

There are however packages that install and Configure Apache and PHP in a nice windows installer such as Xampp.
you can get it at:

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
For what it's worth, PHP also works with Microsoft's IIS web server. If you have Win XP Pro, you can just install IIS from your Windows CD and grab the PHP Windows installer from the PHP download page.
