anon Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I would just like this one question answered, its been puzling me for quite a long time now.. Many people install Php on their home computers so that they can test their scripts then and there. Why would you do this if you can just save it as a text document and open it in Firefox? Why would it not work if FF can open PHP websites? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57398-why-install-php-if-you-already-have-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 When using PHP for web developement it needs to be parsed by a php module built into a web server. Browsers have nothing to do with parsing php as it is all parsed on the server, then sent to a browser as html so browsers can do there thing. PHP is a server-side language, hence, you need a server with php enabled.
