How to run PHP files on localhost?
October 30, 2008 by: Ranjith1. First download the xampp from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
2. Extract the file and double click the exe. This will install Mysql and Apache servers.
3. Once the installation is complete, you will find XAMPP under Start / Programs / XAMPP. You can use the XAMPP Control Panel to start/stop all servers. Start Mysql and Apache servers.
4. Write a test.php file and copy it in to C:/Program Files/XAMPP/htdocs/
5. To run the php file, you just need to brows http://localhost/test.php
Note: You can also create any folder inside htdocs and past test.php inside the folder. If you create a folder called test then the address will become http://localhost/test/test.php
