Problem running first php script on my linux system(RHL5)
Hi Everybody!!!!
I am newbie in field of php. I am trying to run my first php script(present on desktop) named index.php on my Linux system containing following code:-
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo”Hello ……..!!!”;
?>
</html>
</body>
Whenever i double click on this script, it opens a new tab in browser and showing a blank page and then opens a small window saying:
Open file Firefox web browser (default)
Save File
Ok Cancel:confused:
if i press ok then it again opens a same new window….
Is there any problem with the path of script:– current path is /root/Desktop.
What to do Please advice me..
Thanks in advance.
