HELP- I need to view my php files in the browser. I am running Apache server.

I know only this much to put in the browser
http://localhost/ /filename.php

thanks

umm do you have PHP installed and configured?

yes to both

so the files are in the directory on the web server? (usually /var/wwwroot on linux)

if so you should just do:

http://localhost/pagename
or

http://127.0.0.1

Install wamp server and then try it. WAMP is really easy to use.

thanks a;; appreciate it

Also if you want to learn more about php you should watch Lynda.com's php beginner's tutorial. It's amazing.

Hello, Concerning the files, you need to put your files in a folder called "htdocs" where you installed the apache webserver
for example my files are in c:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/folder name/
so I on my browser I type
http://localhost/foldername/filename

but first check if the server is running.

or if its linux then its usually /var/www
