php in Clint machine

Question

installation of php is necessary in Clint machine?? I have installed xamp in server system and saved my script in hdoc folder and tested it in server system and it is running fine.. now same script has to run in client system.. I have shared server path to clint but if I open file in clint machine, it shoes entire raw script rather running it..

so my question, do we have to install xammp in clint system too?? or how to run it ??

Answer 1

normally xamp is for local uses, if you want that your client can use your site you need a server with web service like apache or IIS and php, and share the path of this server or you need to install a xampp server on the client pc and copy paste your site on him computer

Answer 2

if you can access your server from outside you can just share your IP with your client please note that you Apache configuration allows the external IP to get access. if you want to transfer the complete site to client you need to install the xampp on client as php need a server for execution. PHP is server side scripting language.
