Very First step with PHP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 26.2006

I want to learn PHP on my own machine, I downloaded the windows version to replace IIS and just test the

[CODE]<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>[/CODE]

and to my own surprise it is working,…. oohhh what a wonderful feeling.

My question is why my [B]default.php [/B] or [B]index.php[/B] page doesn’t appear by default on the browser at [B][url]http://localhost[/url] [/B] but it is OK if type [B][url]http://localhost/default.php[/url][/B]

thank you for your help

@bokehMay 26.2006 — If you "[I]replaced[/I]" IIS what are you using as a server?

On Apache there is a line in httpd.conf to specify what the default file is named.[CODE]DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.html.var index.htm[/CODE]

@LodovikusauthorMay 26.2006 — Now I know [I]Replace [/I] is wrong word, I think I meant PHP for windows and I have IIS on my machine something like that....or is it?

any way, thank you Bokeh. is there something similar to [B]directoryIndex[/B] in IIS
