witchy478 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hi I'm trying to do a php website using notepad++ but when I save it and I test it out on a web browser it gives me my coding instead of a form. How do I fix this. Thank you Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/259051-confused/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy_Funster Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I use XAMPP From ApachieFriends for my development computers. It's light and well contained, installs everything you need at the first instance.

trq Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Apache or Nginx. http://httpd.apache.org/ http://nginx.org/ though I would recommend Apache for now as it is still the most common server in use with PHP. Eventually you'll need MySql as well. Oh, and PHP http://php.net Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/259051-confused/#findComment-1328027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbones Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 WAMP(Windows) server, it will automatically configure everything for you. If you are using linux (doubt you are), just look up LAMP(Linux), or the cross platform XAMP (already suggested).

witchy478 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 I downloaded wamp and I'm trying to figure it out and when I clicked on phpmyadmin it tells me that I don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.
