Locally addressing the very first php file!

Apr 08.2011

Hello everybody!

I am brand newbie to PHP programming.
I have just downloaded the package XAMPP in order to start learning and locally developing with PHP. The package has successfully installed on my local computer. I prepared my first php file named: “phpfile.php”, placed in a folder named: PHP, which is on the “D” division of my hard disk.

As far as I know, I have to write the address of my “phpfile.php” file in the location field of a browser in order to see the output of “phpfile.php” file, but I do not know the right form of the address to write in the browser! For example: [url]http://My[/url] Computer/D/PHP/phpfile.php, is wrong one, but what?

I seek your kind help, Please

@OctoberWindApr 08.2011 — All your PHP files need to go in the XAMPP htdocs directory (usually [C:]xampphtdocs), so that the PHP is parsed by the webserver before it goes to the web browser.

From there, you send the browser to http://localhost/ and from there, going to the profile.php (or whichever pages you need).

I would suggest looking here if you're having issue with configuration troubles.
