steven rowlands Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi all, I'm a newbie to php and i've downloaded and installed wamp5 (that's all i've done, not gone into config files). I've decided to use php designer as my editor. here's the problem: when i create a php file, then save it to the wwwroot in the wamp folder i'm unable to preview it in php designer. Instead it asks me if i would like to save or open the file. Howevr, when i open a browser and type in the localhost follewed by the php file name, the browser displays it fine. why can't i preview it in the designer anyone??

dbrimlow Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I don't know PHP Designer, but it seems to me like you should assign an extensions for viewing. As for WAMP, since php is Server side code, it will display online easily enough. What you can try is to go your Windows "Tools" tab, click "Folder options"/"file types" and click "new", type ".php" and designate "Opens with" php designer .

a_scanner_darkly Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If I remember correctly you have to 'point' PHP D to - 1. php.exe 2. php.ini (*Enable extensions and settings.) 3. Server path. 4. Local server path. Open up PHP D go to Tools -> Preferences -> Debug and Preview and adjust the above to your WAMP configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
