Save and Test a PHP Page

I

n order to run your PHP page, you must request it via your Web server and have it processed

by the PHP engine. You cannot simply open the file directly in your browser as you can HTML

documents. In order for your Web server to access the file, it must be saved in the Web server’s root

folder. In a Windows installation of WAMP, the root folder is at c:/wamp/wwwroot. In a Mac

installation of MAMP, it is at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. Your PHP files need to have a

.php extension.
