There is such a thing as a dumb question!

I am totally new to the whole php/web programming thing. I am trying
to set a php script named test.php to run from "http://localhost". I
am running a Windows XP box and I have installed php. Now that you
have my little bio, where is the directory located on my hard drive
that would be the root directory of "http://localhost/"? Thanks in
advance!

It all depends on if your using IIS or Apache. Under IIS it would b
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ or something similiar

Under Apache, where the DocumentRoot directive in httpd.conf file says.
Typically it's %ProgramFiles%\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs
