How can I get PHP to work on my Web browser

Question

I'm trying to do something with PHP for my website but I'm having trouble getting it to work with my browser when I go to test it. (Yes, it's Internet Explorer.) Is there something I can turn on so I can test it?

Answer 1

You need to be running a server that supports PHP in order to view PHP output. You do that two ways:

On your machine, you need what is called a WAMP server:

It is easier, generally speaking, to work on a remote server.

Answer 2

PHP is independent of the browser you use and will work unless you're trying to do something client-side, which is highly unlikely.

You probably should check your server configuration to make sure the PHP engine is up and working first.
