Creating Our PHP File

• Run the XAMPP program.

• Let’s start the Apache server.

• Open your browser to test that the server has started and type localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the address bar.

• You should see a page like this.

If this page does not appear, review your installation!

Where We Will Write Our PHP Code:

• Open the folder where XAMPP is installed (e.g., c://xampp/htdocs).
• The htdocs folder in XAMPP is where we manage PHP files.
• You can delete everything inside the folder.
• We will move on to coding in the next lesson.
