I just can't seem to output my .PHP

[jos_moes]

heey Mr JohnB or others ,

This is a Xampp related problem due to the fact that I just can't seem to output my .PHP,
It goes straight to the file path instead of localhost/HTdocs/....
even 127.0.0.1 doensn't work either.
when trying to output php this is what I get== "file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/connect.php"
{
else
}

https://localhost/xampp/htdocs/connect.php

object not found

Error 404

this is the right Index.php rigth ??:
<?php
if (1);
{
echo 'true.';
}
else
{
echo 'False.';
}

?>

Thank you !! in advance(d) (Nintendo style)..

Hi Joshua (like the name of the computer in the movie Wargames, i like that ),

first a little bit of information

• Announcements and stickys are not meant for support requests, they should help others with problems to get quick help for common problems and frequently asked questions. Thats why i splitted your reply from the Announcement.
• please use the relating BBCodes if they are helpful for the type of text you write, for example code-BBtags for sourcecode:
  

  Code: Select all

  [code]
<?php
    echo 'This is PHP Code';
?>
[/code]

when trying to output php

How do you try to output the php? doubleclick, rightclick=>open, drag and drop to the browser window? All of this will not work.
You need to request the file like they were saved on a webserver in the internet.
So what happens if you open a browser windows and request the url http://localhost/ ?

best wishes,
