Anyone who know much in php?

frozenfire03 · 06-10-2009, 07:32 AM

I want to learn how to create/build website using php language. I've already installed xampp. Now i tried to make some php scripts in NOTEPAD displaying "hello world" for me to test. I save it as example.htm and tried to open it in a browser. But nothing prints.

I used this code

<?php

echo "hello world";

?>

i saved it in desktop usin the extension .htm. But nothing prints in browser.

What should i do? Save it in drive c where php folder located?? Or do i need to change editor from notepad?

Please help me guys

Go to the XAMPP directory, go to the htdocs folder and create a new folder named "test". Now, move the PHP file you created into this folder.

Open your browser (IE/Firefox etc) and go to http://localhost/test/phpfile.php

All PHP needs to be saved as .php.

^ Yes.

You can put HTML in PHP files, but not the other way around.

Thanks guys. Please check my coding below..

<html>
<head>
<body>

<?php

echo "hello world";

?>

</body>
</html>

i used notepad for coding and save it in c:/xampp/test

using testing.php as filename..

Should be under c:/xampp/htdocs/test/

=]

Cheers,
Jamey

edit: then the url you use in your browser should be "http://localhost/test/testing.php"... (Ensuring Apache is running[in the XAMPP control panel])

make sure these are in your apache httpd.conf file and you should be able to put php in html documents

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

frozenfire03 · 06-10-2009, 07:31 PM

this is the location where i save my testing.php file

C:\xampp\htdocs\test\testing.php

i follow your instruction carefully, tried it in firefox browser, but this error displays

Not Found

The requested URL /test/hello.php was not found on this server.

any comments guys??

I'd like to read some opinions on this...I've always been under the impression that it's a bad practice due to compatibility issues (ie: you can't hand it off to someone else without making them do the same thing - and not all hosts are down with changing system files) but I'd like to discuss such a thing...

frozenfire03 · 06-11-2009, 06:05 PM

I have some query here guys, is there a way to embed php script to a j2me application <java>?

Ie: you wan to connect that application via http connection?

This is true. Another downside is that all the HTML files now have to go through the PHP engine for processing which causes a slight drop in performance. I prefer working with HTML over PHP files. Why? I have no idea, I guess its just the appearance.
