New to php

[asgadiyar@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm new to PHP and have installed the stuff needed. I'm using Xampp
(Xampp, PHPmyadmin, MySQL, Filezilla) but i do not know how to upload
my PHP file on to my server.
Which Directory do I upload it to?
What are the procedures to be followed?

Depends on how your web server is set up. If you're using your own on
windows, it's usually C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot

Otherwise, check with your hosting company, but it's the same directory
you would put your html pages in.

Since you haven't said the type of OS that your server is running on it
is really hard to tell you where your files need to be put. If you are
using Linux the most probable directory is /var/www/html it also could
be /var/www/apache2-default

It really would help if we knew which OS you are running Apache on.

good.

Let me assume the xampp folder is in c:\

so, there is a folder as c:\xampp

For a web server a Document Root is needed for holding files.

Here, there is folder called "htdocs" in xampp folder.
That is your DocumentRoot.

so, place your files in "c:\xampp\htdoc s"

Thats all.

verify where is your xampp folder.
see in it. you see a folder htdocs. that is your DocumentRoot.

Re: New to php

I think xampp install in "c:\program files\xampp\" by default these
days so your document root directory is likely to be in "c:\program
files\xampp\htd ocs".
The location of your document root can be customised in your apache
config (httpd.conf) if this location doesn't suit. All you have to do
is find the line that looks like this...

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory,
but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/Apache2/htdocs"
