Explanation / Answer
Answer
Please save the file as <filename>.php . filename could be anything of your choice. Then run the aplication in apache server using xampp.
Also you need to change the logic for wishing the user "Today is your birthday". You need to compare today's date and today's month with his dob input. Please find the below modified code.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>Birthday</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

if(isset($_POST['sub']))
{
$mm=$_POST['mm'];
$dd=$_POST['dd'];
$yy=$_POST['yy'];
$dob=$mm ."/".$dd."/".$yy;
$arr=explode('/',$dob);
//$dateTs=date_default_timezone_set($dob);
$dateTs=strtotime($dob);
$now=strtotime('today');
if(sizeof($arr)!=3) die('ERROR:please entera valid date');
if(!checkdate($arr[0],$arr[1],$arr[2])) die('PLEASE: enter a valid dob');
if($dateTs>=$now) die('ENTER a dob earlier than today');
$ageDays=floor(($now-$dateTs)/86400);
$ageYears=floor($ageDays/365);
$ageMonths=floor(($ageDays-($ageYears*365))/30);
echo "<font color='red' size='10'> You are $ageYears years old. </font>";
if($mm==$now[0])
{
echo "$dd";
echo "$now[1]";
if($dd==$now[1]){
echo"<br><font color='red' size='10'>Today is your birthday</font>";
}
}
}
