Re: Apache File Quesiton

In general, as Phpster points out, your development will take place in directories underneath your htdocs directory, which, if you installed XAMPP into the root directory on C:, would be something like C:\xampp\htdocs\yourdevdirectory. Depending on how XAMPP is configured (you can make many changes, for example, to the Apache conf files to determine Apache's behaviour), you would probably use a URL of http://localhost/yourdevdirectory/index.php etc to access your actual application. This is not to mention that you can go on to setup virtual sites, so that you could access your site as http://yourapplicationname/index.php.
