open xampp, htdocs folder and create new folder inside the htdocs folder and give it an name " let's call it name". now put the .php files you create in this folder "example index.php ". it's very important to run xampp, after running xampp open browser and type http://localhost/name/index.php now you should see the content of the index file

You'll need a localhost server to run PHP on your PC try xamp after installing and configuring make sure you start the Apache server and the php file must be in the htdoc directory in the xamp folder go to Chrome and type localhost/your PHP file

index.php that's odd. is the page blank or what does it show? maybe you can post your code in code playground.

did you use <?php //code ?> to let the php interpreter know that it is php code?

save your files in root folder, .php extension. turn on your local server..type localhost in address bar, if its not working type localhost:8080, localhost:3036 etc. let us know what exactly you're facing

you must install a server apache in your machine, because php is a server side programming language 😊

I think you have something misconfigured in XAMPP

you need server to run php. either run in local server or host it. for local server you can use xampp, for other platforms similar local server are available. install and run your php.

don't open the files from folders directly, instead, COPY this link to chrome localhost:(your port number)\dashboard\
