I've downloaded XAMPP, and saved a .php file in htdocs, but I can't open them using localhost/ or 127.0.0.1, it just takes me to a Google search for that.

When I'm downloading the XAMPP, it saves as a .biz file, which my computer can't read. Also, if a save a text file as .php, it stays as a text file. Would uploading this to FreeWebs or something make it work?

Sorry but I still don't understand how to do it. I've tried installing that XAMPP and IIS, but none of them seem to work.

This question probably sounds stupid, but how do I make a .php file and use it. I've saved:

<?phpecho "Hello World";?>

in a HTML file like it shows you on the tutorial, but do I need to download something for it to work?Thanks for any help.I'm using Windows XP by the way.

Thanks very much :)Is there anyway to do the opposite? i.e. print a variable into a text field on Submit?

I was wondering if there was a way to use an input from a form as a Javascript variable? Think it may have something to do with HTML DOM. All help appreciated

so would this work now?

document.write("<div class = "body"> \document.write<a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors.html">Home\document.write<p></p> \document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Members.html" >Members \document.write<p></p> \document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Events.html" >Events \document.write<p></p> \document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20History.html" >History \document.write<a class="body"href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriorsa/Application.html">Application \document.write<p></p> \document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Stats.html" >Stats \document.write<p></p> \   document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Forum.html">Forum \document.write<p></p> \document.write <a class="body" href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Videos.html" >Videos\document.write<p></p>  \ </div>")

ive been told you can set up a nav bar in the css. ive tried lots of help sites, but dont know how to do it. this is my html nav bar.

<table border="5"><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Home</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Members.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Members</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Events.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Events</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20History.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">History</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriorsa/Application.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Application</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Stats.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Stats</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Forum.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Forum</a></td></tr><tr><td><font face="Comic Sans MS" font size="2"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Videos.html"><font style="color:#C0C0C0">Videos</a></td></tr></table>

I have this on lots of pages, so it is annoying when i have to change it. could somebody please write the css code i would put into each page, linking it to this (so it displays on the page), and i would only have to change this for it to change on all of the other pages.

looking at this post: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2845 i think it is the kind of thing i want, so this is what it looks like now:

document.write(" \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors.html" >Home \  <p></p> \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Members.html" >Members \  <p></p> \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Events.html" >Events \  <p></p> \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20History.html" >History \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriorsa/Application.html" >Application \  <p></p> \   <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Stats.html" >Stats \  <p></p> \   <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Chrome%20Warriors%20Forum.html">Forum \  <p></p> \ <a href ="http://www.freewebs.com/chrome_warriors/Videos.html" >Videos\  <p></p>  \ ")
