PHP Tutorial Six : Create index.php File and Write PHP Code

Latest tutorial we know how to write php code. Now we will know create index.php file and write some php code.
First we open our text editor software. Take a new document. Write this code :


<?php

?>

This is php starting and ending tag.

We will save this file so press ctrl+S. We see save dialog box. Go to the C>xampp>htdoc folder. Here we create a new folder. So take a new folder and write a name. I write the folder name is "tute". Then open the folder and save the file. Write the file name is : index.php and select Save as type is "All types (*.*)".

Create index.php File and write code

Again we write some code in index.php file. The code is :

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>

Then save the file (ctrl+S). Now we go to the web browser. We write "localhost/tute" in address bar. Then presh enter. We see "Hello World" in our browser.

Show index.php file in browser

The index.php automatically open in server, so we cannot write index.php in browser address bar. If we write "localhost/tute/index.php" our result is same.
