How to start with PHP on Ubuntu

Question

I am new to PHP. I have successfully installed PHP on Ubuntu, now I want to start my first program. I am using gPHPEdit as an IDE. Where should I save the .php files that I create? And how to run / test them?

Answer 1

You should pick up a book or start following good textbooks online.
If you just use php scripts, you can save them anywhere and run php on the terminal using the php command line interpreter.
If you are trying to write web scripts (and I think so), you need to install and configure a web server (usually apache) and save your scripts in the server root document (usually / var / www). In addition, I highly recommend that you read a little about servers and HTTP and find out how it all works internally before learning to create sites in php.

Answer 4

delete index.html file with /var/www/

$ sudo rm index.html

create a new php file there:

$ sudo gedit /var/www/index.php

write in it:

<?php
print_r(phpinfo());
?>

Restart the Apache2 server:

$ sudo service apache2 restart

OR

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apace2 restart

and point to your localhost and /index.php
