PHP: PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. It is a server-side scripting language that powers some of the most popular websites in the world, including WordPress and Facebook. It is open source, relatively easy to learn, and works perfectly with MySQL, making it a popular choice for web developers.
- XAMPP is the most popular PHP development environment.
- Its not mandatory to install XAMPP software, there are many other software tools to install depending upon the requirement.
- XAMPP is a completely free, easy to install Apache distribution containing MariaDB, PHP, and Perl. The XAMPP open source package has been set up to be incredibly easy to install and to use.
- The XAMPP control panel gives you complete control over all installed XAMPP components. You can use the CP to start/stop different modules, launch the Unix shell, open Windows explorer and see all operations running in the background.
Step 1: In the XAMPP control panel, click on ‘Start’ under ‘Actions’ for the Apache module. This instructs XAMPP to start the Apache web server.
Step 2: Open your web browser and type in: http://localhost or 127.0.0.1
Step 3: We will now test whether XAMPP has installed PHP successfully. To do this, fire up Notepad and type the following into a new document:
Save this file as ‘balatest.php’ in c:\xampp\htdocs\ (or whichever directory you installed XAMPP in).
Step 4: Navigate to localhost/test.php. You should see the “Hello Bala!” message.
