PHP Files

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year,

I have been having a few troubles setting up PHP on my MacBook. I have now discovered MAMP, and PHP has been set up successfully.

The thing is when i open PHP files i get the dialog box:



My local server is http://localhost:8888/

Is there anyay to change this so when i open a php file it displays as a php file?

Thanks

Ben

What ya mean "displays as a php file" ?

Do you mean that you want to get at the text itself so you can edit it? If so use Smultron or Coda

Hi thanks for the reply,

By display as a PHP file I mean, view the file as if the PHP is being processed.

For example instead of me uploading it to my server, I want to test the file locally.

In Dreamweaver i can preview in browser and view the file how it would appear on my server.

I would like to be able to open the file from the finder and be able to view it as if the PHP is being processed.

I hope this makes sense,

Ben

Nah you cant do it from the finder, you have to open safari and view the page from your local web server.

eg

http://localhost:8888/nameofpage.php
