I'm not sure what you're asking there. You probably need to look

Are you running a server on your machine? If not, FF won't be able to
connect to it at localhost.

No server means no one is reading the file. FF is trying to connect to
the server on your machine and gives up because there isn't one.

FF has not been given anything to display.

PHP doesn't run in your browser, or indeed in anyone's browser. You need
to be running server software such as apache:
+--------------+ +----------------+
| | | |
| Your | | Web Server |
| machine +------- Internet -----------------+ running apache |
| and | | (your web page |
| browser | | is here too) |
| | | |
+--------------+ +----------------+
The web server can be your own machine but this doesn't alter the basic
approach.

I've been trying to run Apache which I downloaded from http://www.wampserver.com/en/.
The PHP command works fine in the command Window but I did see a
thread, on their forum, about Apache not starting. The forum
moderator said that could be because stuff like zonealarm, and
firewall/antivirus may cause a conflict. I have them running on my PC
but I don't want to turn them off and make my PC vulnerable to
hackers. Should I use a different version of Apache? Should I use
WAMP at all?
Thanks,
Peter.

Did you try asking in their forum? They provided the advice; they
should be able to tell you how to solve it.
And please note that this is a PHP forum - not an Apache setup forum!

Before you can get PHP to be executed by your local Apache server in
response to a browser request, you have to configure the Apache
server. It sounds like you haven't done that part yet. You might
also have to modify the windows "hosts" file. And be careful not to
make your WAMP/Apache server a security hole that invites the entire
internet world into your PC. alt.apache.configuration is the group to
ask apache configuration questions in, if you decide that's what you
need.

Thanks for the info. It is reassuring that I don't need to invite the world in on order to connect to the world. I thought that it should be possible, and necessary, to have a firewall up when running a server. Thanks again, Peter. Peter H.

Simplified explanation for how php works on a webserver:
1) A surfer users their web browser to send a request to a webserver at
"http://<host>/<path>/<file>"
("<file>" is usually somename.php)
2) The webserver at "<host>" determines what file in it's filesystem
"<path>/<file>" refers to.
3) The webserver at "<host>" determines that the file in it's filesystem
that "<path>/<file>" refers to should be parsed for php code before
sending it to the surfers browser.
4) The webserver at "<host>" sends the actual file that "<path>/<file>"
refers to to the php script processor, and then sends the output from the
php script processor back to the web browser.
You need to check that your web server is working. If it's on the same
machine as you are developing code on, try using your web browser to
connect to:
a) http://localhost/
or
b) http://127.0.0.1/
(If it is some other machine, modify the (a) host name or (b) ip address
as appropriate)
If your web server is working, you should get a default page announcing
itself as apache (as you have installed wamp).
If you don't get a "welcome to apache webserver" page, then you need to
start the webserver. That is beyond the scope of my knowledge, try
googling "wamp start webserver process"
Once the web server is working, you next need to locate where the
webserver root is. This is not the root of your hard disc (or it damn
well shouldn't be) and will be specified in a configuration file. Again,
google is your friend.
In the document root, insert a file called phpinfo.php with the text
between the cutlines below:
---8<--- cut here ---8<---
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
---8<--- cut here ---8<---
Then connect to the following url:
http://<(a) server host name or (b) server ip address>/phpinfo.php
And if you have been successful, and the web server is running, and your
configuration is correct, you will get displayed on your screen a large
amount of information about the php and web server configuration.

I'm new to the group and the thread...
Denis, the above is good stuff - THANK YOU - but how does one
configure so that simply clicking on that phpinfo.php file results in
the same action as connecting to
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
The answer to that would make life so much simpler. Having to type
"http://localhost/" before every file name while trying to develop
something is a total pain in the butt.

You don't. You MUST use a web server to serve the php pages. But then
that's what links and bookmarks are for.

How do you suppose that double-clicking a file is going to make the results display in a window of another application? I gave, in an earlier post, a simple ascii-art picture of how web pages are served up. The only way you can avoid that [1] is if the file extension is such that double-clicking the file opens it in a browser. But in that case, *no* PHP execution will occur, the page will be treated as if it contains *only* html. Browsers know nothing about PHP and cannot do anything with it. The web server, by contrast, has as one of its purposes to feed a requested page to the PHP interpreter, and then feed the results of that back to your browser. Once the PHP has run, there is no PHP left in the output stream, only the results. [1] At least, this works on the Mac, I'm assuming the same is true for other platforms. -- Tim "That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted" -- Bill of Rights 1689

Well, possibly you can, but it's more complex than I can set up quickly. You'd need to code something that would generate an appropriate url and pass it to your web browser, and to generate the url you'd need to know where under your document root the file was, so you would have to: 1) find the actual file system path to the file 2) compare to the file system path for docroot 3) if the leftmost part of the filesystem path matches the docroot path, remove it 3a) convert from windows to url format paths if appropriate 4) add the http://localhost/ in place of the removed part 5) call the web browser with the url eg if the file is: c:\documents and settings\jim higgins\testing\htdocs\test1\phpinfo.php and the apache docroot is: c:\documents and settings\jim higgins\testing\htdocs then you need to invoke a browser with the url: http://localhost/test1/phpinfo.php It's probably possibly on a linux box with a bit of scripting, I have no idea how to do it on a windows box, but personally, I want php files on the server to open in my text editor when I double click them.

There are two things you can do to "make life so much simpler", both are beyond the scope of this forum. However, they are: 1) set up an IDE to run your php script/file as you edit i.e. PSPad w/appropriate compiler settings to execute PHP. and 2) establish virtual host(s) in your host file and httpd.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf. the vhost (ServerName) can be any name you like such as "dev" or "dev1." If you really want to "make life so much simpler" set DirectoryIndex to the name of your file, or simply name your file index.php while testing. Then all you have to type into the browser is "dev" (you don't even need the "http://" because the browser will assume that for you. However, like I said. Further details should be sought in Apache and PSPad documentation. BTW I stopped using wamp configurations on my Win boxes in favor of individual installation of each component (Apache, PHP, MySql, etc.) because it gave me greater control over my environment, and updates. It requires a little more effort up front, but helps to insure you know what's what, and pays off in many ways.

Hi Denis,
On Win XP I went to Start:Run and ran
net start wampapache
When I go to http://localhost/, I get a page with the wampserver icon
and a bunch of stuff including the following.
Server Configuration
Apache Version :
2.2.17
PHP Version :
5.3.5
Loaded Extensions :
* Core
* bcmath
* calendar
[and several other extensions]
MySQL Version :
5.5.8
---------------------------------------------------------------
The httpd.conf file gives DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
However when I just have <a href="index.php">PHP</a>
on my web page, I get a message that it cannot find the file because
it is looking in the folder that contains the html file. When I use
<a href="c:/wamp/www/index.php">PHP</a>
I get an alert message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address,
because the protocol (c) isn't associated with any program"
Thanks,
Peter.

1) If the php file doesn't exist, then of course your web server will
give an error message 404 if it is asked for it.
2) You must use url style addressing in href="" in your web documents,
not operating system based file paths.
3) The file that I suggested you create was:
>> In the document root, insert a file called phpinfo.php with the text
>> between the cutlines below:
>>
>> ---8<--- cut here ---8<---

>> ---8<--- cut here ---8<---
>>
>> Then connect to the following url:

So:
1) create a file in eg notepad that just contains the following as a
single line of text:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
2) save it in directory "c:\wamp\www\" as filename "phpinfo.php"
3) access it in your web browser as "http://localhost/phpinfo.php"
Now, if you want a file called "index.php" you have to create that file
in the directory "c:\wamp\www" and it should probably contain php script
commands.

Note, however, that you REALLY REALLY SHOULD NOT use "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in any url inside a file in the "DocumentRoot" directory or it's sub directories, as the special dns entry and special ip address will ONLY WORK if you are using a browser on the SAME MACHINE as the webserver. So, for example if you want to include a link to the file at "c:\wamp\www \index.php" inside the file "c:\wamp\www\index.htm" so that you link from the htm file to the php file when DocumentRoot is "c:\wamp\www", your link inside the htm file would look something like: <a href="index.php">link text</a> And when you access the file "http://localhost/index.htm" and clink on the link "link text" it should then jump to the output of the php script "index.php". Of course, "index.php" needs some php code inside it for this to work. Try the following line for a start: <?php echo "<p>Hello, This is php</p>"; ?> Here endeth the lesson. If you have not now managed to get your server displaying php files correctly, then either (a) your configuration is broken, (b) your installation is broken, (c) I screwed up the instructions, or (d) you're not following the instructions correctly. If (c) is the case, I'm sure several people will tell us both! Rgds Denis McMahon
