@NogDogAug 20.2009 — #php.exe is the Windows executable for running PHP programs from the command line. See http://php.net/cli for all the syntax and usage info.
Most web applications, however, are run via a web server PHP module, and as such you run those PHP apps via a HTTP request (normally via a URL from your web browser, even if it is a "http://localhost/ " request to your local PC). You can use [url=http://wampserver.com]WAMP[/url] or [url=http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html]XAMPP[/url] to install everything you need.
what is PHP.exe for???
hi,
i just installed php.exe from php.net in my computer but i cant figure out what to use it for if i execute it. I know it works if i click on a php file i have stored in my compu but when i just execute php.exe a cursor appears and i dont know what to type in or what function does it have. Can be something done from there? or you are not supposed to open it directly?
Thank you.
