Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

Need help getting started with XAMPP for Windows. I am working with an Apress book on "Beginning PHP and MySql". I want to start testing the examples in the book, but I don't know where to put the examples or how to direct the browser to the example. Can someone help me get started?

You would put your php examples in the
C:\xampp\htdocs folder (
assuming that you have installed XAMPP in the default location) - simpler to create a new folder in the htdocs folder for your examples and place all your examples in it to keep them all together.
For example
C:\xampp\htdocs\examples\example1.phpYou would then load the file in your browser by typing this URI:
http://localhost/examples/example1.phpC:\xampp\htdocs =
http://localhost/C:\xampp\htdocs\examples =
http://localhost/examples/Get the idea?
