Help me with php files

Sometimes while working I download some php files in a zip file. If you know of a video tutorial to show me how to use them, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

  • Do you mean view them on your own comp in the browser?

    If so, you will need wamp (if you have windows) or mamp (if you have mac).

    If not, could you explain exactly what you mean?

    Hope that helps.
  • Typically, you would extract the files from the zip archive ( in windows you would right-click and select extract, on macos you would typically drag the zip archive to the stuffit expander, and in linux you would run unzip (or any other zip program) on it)

    This will give you access to the files contained in the archive, which you could then upload as directed by the one providing them or open to look at.

    As Damien Roche noted, if you want to process them and show the results in a web browser, wamp and mamp would be a great way to go.

    • Damien,

      Thanks for the response. I have wamp and running windows. Also, have two hosting companies..When I unzip the files and want to view them in wamp, are suggesting just copy and paste in the browser?

      So, if I understand you correctly, view them in a test server like wamp. How can we do
      that?


      Jimmy.
