Hi, First of all I’d like to say welcome you all to my site.. This is my first post. . The reason that I decided to write this post, recently I came across some difficulties when IĀ try to run PHP scripts on a computer that I haven’t administrative privileges to install any software. Anyway I think I will help you too..
First of all you need to download XAMPP for windows as 7zip archive from Apache Friends.
here is the link : http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
Welcome to Xampp with PHP!
To have php programming with this portable version of XAMPP extract 7zip archive into a flash drive( pen drive )
1)first open your pen drive
2)open xampp folder
3)”run” setup_xampp.bat
4)then automatically command prompt open & wait until it says “press any key to continue…….”
5)But if run this on second time any other computer the message will be said “Refresh previous installation press 1 “then press 1 and then it will be said “press any key to continue…….”
5)now open xampp-control.exe
6)then tic the Apache service and “Start” it..
7)then tic the Mysql server and “Start” it…
8)now you are ready to go with that..
9)type this url on a web browser http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ in here you can find the XAMPP welcome & configuration page.
10)now find the folder named “htdocs”.. this is the place where you put your php files for testing..
11)to run your php type the .php after http://localhost/
12)if the test file is test.PHP the url should be http://localhost/test.PHP
//test.PHP (A simple test.php script)
<html>
<?php
echo “Hello World, this is test php page!”;
?>
<html>
Enjoy it.. š
I don’t have installed windows so I take these screen shots on Panda‘s laptop. Thanks to Panda.
