So I have just downloaded Xampp to learn php. I've played around making a few simple files and I want to view them in the browser. However I'm not completely sure what url I should be typing into chrome to view the page I want.
Here's my file set up:
I have a folder called 'database' saved inside the 'htdocs' folder. Inside the 'database' folder I have a file called 'index.php' that I want to view.
So what url should I be typing into the broswer to view this page:
localhost/htdocs/database/index.php
I think what is confusing me is that I don't know what localhost represents in the url
Either of this work for you..
localhost/database/
127.0.0.1/database/
By default, it will look for index.php
htdocs is your root directory. Type either of these on your browser window to view the file output,
http://localhost/database/index.php
http://127.0.0.1/database/index.php
