    hello,
    I am meant to add some code to an existing site(a php site already running on the web).
    i have all the access data such as user name and password, but i can't run the site locally on my computer after downloading it to my system.

    meanwhile i am using Easyphp 1.8 to run it and nothing is being displayed on the browser. And the site is a dynamic site, using MySql database as the backend

    what should i do?

    I will really appreciate your help on this issue.

    Thank you.

    Do you know if php is working properly on your local computer,=?

    It sounds like php may not be working correctly which would explain why your site doesn't work on your local machine.
