How can you view .PHP files that are on your desktop?

To view them running you will need to setup apache on your machine.

Get this: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Install it in C:/ or the default.

Once isntalled go to C:/xampp/

then open xampp-control and start the umm top 3 services.. apache mysql etc. You don't need filezilla.

Once you've started them all, copy your php file into xampp/htdocs and then go to http://localhost/phpfileyounamed.php

Lol.
