Question: How do i open a PHP file and what program is required to open it?

( Back )

Answer #1:

If you just want to edit the file, any text editor will work. Notepad, Textedit, Notepad++, etc, etc.

Answer #2:

You can edit with Notepad even.
But better to use NuSphere PhpED, coz it is easy to work with.

Answer #3:

PHP files are read by the web server. The web server usually has something like MySQL (or a host of other RDBS's) and queries databases and fills in the PHP sections with HTML. What the user sees in just pure HTML--the PHP sections get removed. But if you just want to see a PHP file, any text editor will do. But you can't see a PHP file delivered to you by your web browser. By the time it gets to you, it's just HTML. HTH
