Hi

I am very new to XAMPP and php. I am starting php by writing a basic program in notepad. I just want to know where should I save that page (in which directory) and how I can see that in the IE (just for testing)? What should I type in the IE for that particular page to come on screen?

XAMPP control pannel showing that Apache is running. I have installed latest xampp 1.7.1.

With Regards

Exactly what you can read in "readme_en.txt".

Thanks for the reply Wiedmann.

Actually I tried that. It gives Error 404. I have made a simple file in notepad. The code is :

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My First PHP Program</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
echo “I’m a lumberjack.”;
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Then I save it as test.php in htdocs. Now after that I tried http://localhost/test.php

But I got this error.

Kindly Advice.

I save it as test.php in htdocs. Now after that I tried http://localhost/test.php
--> Error 404

So the filename is not "test.php", or the file is not in the directory "\xampp\htdocs".

Hello Widemann,

Thanks for the reply.

The check.php file is in the htdocs folder. I dont know why its not coming.

Regards

In the home page of Xampp when I click status there comes a Deactivated word infront of the php. Mayt b this is the issue? How to activate that? In the xampp control panel i have seen nothing regarding activation of php.

Regards
