Publishing PHP Scripts as Web Pages

This section describes how to publish PHP scripts as Web pages on the Apache server.

The verify my Apache and PHP integration, here what I did to publish a PHP script as a Web page on the Apache server:

1. I wrote this simple PHP script, hello.php, with a text editor:

<html>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello world!"; ?> - PHP script.
</body>
</html>

2. Copied this script file to Apache document directory, \local\apache\htdocs:

C:\> copy hello.php \local\apache\htdocs

3. View it with a Web browser at http://localhost/hello.php. The Web page resulted from the PHP script shows up correctly:

Hello world! - PHP script.
