trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 You need a webserver installed. Being an obvious newcommer, I would suggest googleing XAMPP and installing that. It provides a webserver already configured to parse php.

aebstract Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 If you mean going to view > page source, that won't work since php doesn't show up. You'll have to have ftp access or access to a control panel to login and download the file you need.

The Little Guy Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 you can also open up your explorer window and type in: ftp://mysite.com it will ask for an ftp username and password, which will be set up on your host account. then just drag and drop the file from the explorer window to either your desktop or another local folder. after that, you can use any text editor (notepad, notepad2, wordpad, crimson editor, etc) to edit the file. then when it has been edited drag it from your local computer to the ftp window. it will ask if you want to overwrite the old file agree to that, and it will upload.

moneytree Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi The Little Guy, Many thanks for your advice to my queries over viewing php file. However,I had followed your advcie as follow : ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you can also open up your explorer window and type in: ftp://mysite.com - of course it referring to my website address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But,it show the following error message : Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most likely causes: You are not connected to the Internet. The website is encountering problems. There might be a typing error in the address. What you can try: Diagnose Connection Problems More information This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including: Internet connectivity has been lost. The website is temporarily unavailable. The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable. The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain. If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section. For offline users You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.

trq Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 It would appear that your server does not have ftp running, or it is not configured at that address. How did you get the site uploaded to your host? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/87557-how-to-view-php-file/#findComment-447867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
