I just created a php file from scratch in dreamweaver.. and when I try to preview>in browser - FireFox It gives me about 6 alert messages asking me to specify a testing server and what not.. How else can I preview my scripts without using Dreamweaver? I know there is a way to do it with PHPmyA but I don't know how/

I have just started studying PHP last night.. lol :oops:


Anyone out there that could help? I would surely appreciate it, and would pay it forward :lol:

this show up when you give the wrong path in for the php file in browser address bar.

try typing these in your address bar

if the php file is saved in directly in the xampp/htdocs folder : http://localhost/login.php

or if its saved in a folder within the xampp/htdocs folder : http://localhost/your_folder_name/login.php

i think this should solve your problem, :P

ps: also check the file name in the windows explorer if you are using Notepad as your editor. because the file extension might be login.php.txt
which means the file is still is a text file.
