There really isn't any way that I know of other than to go to the page through a web browser. That is why most people that develop dynamic pages have a developmnet server (either on their computer or a separate server) to test their pages.
The reason is that php consists of programming and the page can look completely different depending on the variables used.
For example your home page might check to see if the user has a cookie on their machine with their login information. If so, the user is greeted with a welcome back message. If not, the user is presented with a login page. And, that is a simplistic example. I have written pages that could have dozens of different variations based upon the criteria.

Like Michael said, you can either have a developmnet server on your computer or a separate server to test your pages, but in either cases, PHP is server-side scripting, so you need to run it on a server.
