    2- Where to put ur PHP files & how to open them through ur web browser .

    3- How to create a simple php file which gets the php info using phpinfo( ) function .

  • completely unrelated, but am I right in saying, if you type 127.0.0.1, the dns server is basically converting that to "localhost" ?

  • On mac it took 2 mins.

  • Nice one, followed your steps & she`s up & running perfect.

    Cheers, Mezo.

  • How To install The Xampp in Mac

  • Alec?

  • I also need some help. Xampp is simple and I like it. I put my website files in wwwroot on my server 2003 R2 and after many days of errors and problems I finally installed php and phpinfo opens correctly. My last problem is about the contact form that asks for name, email and comment. Everything works as it should according to my browser, thankyou page etc. but I never get an email on my predefined email in php script.How can someone help me here, can I get someone's mail address to send my php?

  • @manasume It says that the port 80 is already in use. Look which program is occupying that port and clear it. In most cases it is usually skype.

  • Hi alex im billys friend hay how r u u sound nice we've met befor ur blond hi
