irishcavan Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 okay, here is a really dumb question... i cant believe i am asking it. I would like to view my php files while i am editing them. (ie to view html files (such as in front page files) you can view the coding in internet explorer). Does anyone know what program i can use to associate my php files. I keep changing and F5 my live site, but i would like to be able to make changes all at once and view them before uploading them to the site. Any help you be appreciated. Thanks, Irish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 PHP is a dynamic language, not static like HTML - so it needs a web server to operate. You can turn your computer into a local web server (Intranet), by downloading the XAMPP all-in-one package from http://www.apachefriends.org/en and installing it on your computer. It contains all you need. Then, follow the Quick Install Guide link below my name - it works the same for a local install as it does an online install.
