How To Use Xampp To Test Php

Hi, I'm new at trap17, and it's a good host, but there are too many forums so sorry if I got this is the wrong forum.

I am using Fedora 9 (Linux) and I want to test PHP locally and one of the moderators said XAMPP is good. I''ve got it installed and that, and I can go to the XAMPP page by going to http://localhost/xampp/ and logging in.

However, I want to know how I can use XAMPP to test PHP locally.

Any help would be appreciated. smile.gif

Store your scripts/programs in the htdocs sub-folder under the XAMPP folder.
Then access the script using http://localhost/folder/script.php in your Browser. Be certain that the XAMPP Apache Server is running before calling the script.

I don't get what you mean by access the script. To go on XAMPP, in the Terminal, I type
CODE
su
-root password-
/opt/lampp/lampp start


Then I go to http://localhost/
To stop XAMPP, I do the above but type 'stop' instead of 'start'.

Thanks anyway, 'cause now I can test my PHP scripts locally. smile.gif

EDIT: Oh, you're probably on 'bout XAMPP on Windows... Lol. I used Fedora more. tongue.gif

Dunno where XAMPP for Linux expects files to be... Generic Apache configuration on my Linux looks in /var/www for files and scripts... Maybe there? You should read XAMPP documentation, or configuration files, to see where XAMPP wants the files to be...
