How do I preview a .php page in a browser?
RE: PHP
Pia,
A PHP page needs to be processed at the server side. So if you create a .php page in Dreamweaver and try to view it in your normal browser (ie. looking at the local copy of the .php page on your computer), it's likely your browser will not display it.
You would need to have either a local web server running (such as IIS or Apache) and PHP installed within that web server. You would then type in the local address such as http://localhost/ or the IP address of your computer. The web server takes over and shows you the processed php page.
If you have hosting with PHP supported, simply upload your latest copy of the .php page, and go to the full URL of where it is, eg. http://www.example.com/your-page.php
Regards, Rich
