PHP-installation

PHP runs on the server and interacts with other server functions such as MySQL and files. PHP is an open source project, which means it gets bug fixes often and has a massive support index. If in doubt then check the libraries and php resources as someone somewhere would have already resolved the doubt. PHP is free to download and use. PHP Files are like HTML files, and can contain standard HTML, JavaScript and everything else a HTML document can contain, but they also allow you to run PHP code. A PHP document will have the file extension of .php, .php3 or .phtml. The most often used extension is the .php extension and this is the most common extension.

Installing a PHP enabled server is extremely easy thanks to the project ‘XAMPP’.

First download the latest version of XAMPP

Then download and run the EXE.

When the installer opens type the name of destination folder in the address box where one wishes to install the server application under the root directory.

Then click the next button in the control panel and oh! Yeah install the server application and after this open the XAMPP control panel and play/run the PHP code on the local host.
