BaByT Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 What all do you need to run PHP? I am using 110mb.com as a temporarily web host until I get the money to pay for a good host. I used notepad to code the hello world script and added .php extension. Then I uploaded it too my free host and it came up as, helloworld.php.txt. How do I keep it as .php and have it execute the text in the broswer. I also use Firefox as my broswer.

de.monkeyz Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Don't use notepad really. When you save in notepad. There is a drop down specifying .txt or all types, you need to select all types: Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/199818-php-hello-world-wont-show-in-broswer/#findComment-1048831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

de.monkeyz Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Personally I use Notepad++ or for larger projects I use Eclipse PDT Since you're a complete beginner, use Notepad++. It's simple and has syntax higlighting: Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/199818-php-hello-world-wont-show-in-broswer/#findComment-1048847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
