Learner Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 As the title mentions, I have successfully installed Apache 2.2.4 and PHP 5.2.1 via the installers. On clicking localhost it says "It works" - I am following an ebook namely " Php Solutions Dynamic Webdesign Made Easy" - I am really confused in handling this, what to do next? Your help will be very appreciated. According to this ebook using WAMP for doing easy installation is not a wise decision so I continued this way. I tried to mess in with these things, curiously interested in setting this up as soon as possible to start learning the code. By the way which way you prefer for learning PHP as a newbie who is passionate and want to learn this language as soon as possible because he is having creative ideas on making dynamic sites and kinda frustated because of not knowing any kind of language to make dynamic sites and loosing some money and opportunities everyday. I am using internet since years, run blogs, having sites and am famaliar with HTML only! THANKS A MILLION TO ALL OF YOU - This was my first post and I am feeling the love in this place.

wildteen88 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You place all .php (this is what you save your php scripts as not as .html) files in Apaches htdocs folder (Default path: C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs). Whenever you want to run your PHP script you go to http://localhost/path/to/script.php You can place all other files too in htdocs folder if you wish. If the books good enough it should explain to you all this, most bocks have an extra chapter in the Appendix for setting up AMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learner Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi, Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate your response to newbie as I can understand the feeling of answering same question "in detail" to many people every month! To tell you the truth, I am not really getting your point. I am really sorry but I am completely new to this. There is a long procedure of configuring written in the ebook, tried to understand but everything seems to be so confusing. I wish if you can repeat it in "step by step by step" - Thanks a lot wildteen for your sincere help Take Care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If you can't follow the procedure to install a php enabled server, just google for xampp and install that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
