TECHiE TALKS

When its your first time to code HTML , the tendency of opening the file is by clicking it twice and yes the expected result is displaying.  And from that point on, they can view their web page/website as it was intended to be viewed.  Above image is one example of an HTML file viewed by double clicking on the file. But when you have a web server things are different.

Last night I have this friend who was programming a system using PHP and she was asking me why all the PHP codes are displaying on the browser.  I was thinking that the host or PHP was down and it bothered me a lot since there are also other developers  and other clients using the web server and this would be a bigger delay on the business.   It was relieved with what I saw because the problem was what she entered on the browser.

This is one problem in opening a PHP file.  You shold use the name of your server or IP then the PHP file name like http://127.0.0.1/fortest.php or if you are using localhost then that would be http://localhost/fortest.php.  If you are using your domain that is being hosted by a certain web hosting company then you can use http://www.mydomainname.com/fortest.php.  But if after putting the domain name and the PHP codes are displayed one possible problem would be the PHP is down.
