Tutorial Contents

To access the PHP page from a web browser, then you have to place the PHP file inside a special folder which is the home folder of the web server.

In the XAMPP application, the folder is a htdocs folder that is inside the XAMPP installation folder. If you changed your XAMPP installation to C:\xampp, then the folder should be in C:\xampp\htdocs.

You can put the PHP file directly inside this folder, or to make it easier to search the file, create a new folder in this htdocs folder. I will create a "belajar" folder. Folder belajar is what we will make as PHP file later.

How to Write a PHP File

The PHP file is basically a plain text file that can be created using the windows notepad app, but for more features you can use a text editor application like Notepad ++, which can be downloaded at Notepad++.

Go back to the learning folder belajar located at C:\xampp\htdocs\belajar, we will create a new file. To create this file you can use the default notepad of Windows and Notepad ++.

As a file contents, type the following code:

<?php echo "Tantry sedang belajar PHP"; echo "<br />"; echo "Hello Steemit And Utopian-io"; ?>

Then save as test.php. So the file will be at the address C:\xampp\htdocs\belajar\test.php. To date, we have actually created a simple PHP file. To run it, we must use a web browser.

How to Run a PHP File

Next open the browser, and type the following address: localhost/belajar/test.php in the address bar and press Enter.

If you follow the above steps correctly, then in the web browser will look like the display as follows:

Good luck good luck if you follow correctly definitely the way in the browser do not forget to be happy
