Re: New to PHP

I hope you like it. Inside your xampp folder, wherever you installed it to, you will find a folder named "htdocs", which is where apache holds your site as far as I can tell. So if you were to to create a new php page named newpage.php inside your htdocs folder, you can view it in a browser by typing http://localhost/newpage.php or else http://127.0.0.1/newpage.php then refresh that as you change little details to your css or php code or whatever. Localhost or 127.0.0.1 is your server on your computer. Good luck!

How does it work? Do I have to specify a path on my computer to be the server and move files to that server? Thanks.

It doesn't get any easier. Mike
