Hi, I've instaled xampp on my pc. What should I type on my browser to view my php files? I can't seem to figure out a way or a path to load those files. Assume that my files are on the desktop, what url will that be? Do I have to move them into specific sub folders inside the c:Xampp\ ? If yes, then lets say the files are in c:\xampp\london\bridge.php ,so what url should I type in the browser? Thank you.
you should put php files on this address : c:\program files\xampp\htdocs and type : http://localhost on browser to view files .
xampp doesn't install under program files directory as default. thats where most of our general approach fails . c:\xampp\ is the directoty you must be looking for .. open a xampp control center and start the apache server open a web broswer and type in http://localhost/xampp if all is right , you will find the configurations , including PHP , you can choose between php 4 and 5 as well. to manually configure your php , you must head to C:\xampp\php\php.ini good luck
Also remember that if you don't want to have to go through manually starting the Apache and MySQL servers each time, each of the appropriate subdirectories have an 'install_service' batch file that will set them up to run automatically for you.
