amitamberker Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Hello Everyone, 1. When I try to open "index.php" file by double clicking on it, it opens up in the Default "Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007" editor.2. If I try to open "index.php" by doing -- Select index.php >> Right Click >> Open with >> Internet Explorer... the files opens up from the dafault "View Downloads" alert box.3. If I try to open "index.php" file from IE Browser from File >> Open... I get Open -- Save -- Cancel options at the bottom of the IE Browser... So, how do I view the Layout / Design of index.php page from Browser? What should I do into my "Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007" so that it could get published in a Normal Way like HTML Files does? Please help.

birbal Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 you have to open it through http protocol in browser to get it executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitamberker Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 you have to open it through http protocol in browser to get it executed. Hi birbal,How should I open it through http protocol in my browser to get it executed? What should I do? By the way, is there a way to "Enable" OR maybe "Disable" OR maybe "Set" something into my "Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007" editor?

amitamberker Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 On the taskbar I clicked "Start" and then I clicked "Control Panel" and then double clicked "Administrative Tools" but I don't see "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" file here... So, what should I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) Upload your file to a host that supports PHP, or install Apache/PHP locally or IIS/PHP locally or just get an AMP stack; i.e. WAMP. Then either put your files in the www or htdocs folder, start Apache, and view the files over localhost (if local). Most of this basic information is available right in the tutorials.http://www.w3schools...p/php_intro.asp Edited June 11, 2012 by thescientist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birbal Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 you have to type the url in your address bar of browser. to make it happen.. you have to make sure you have web server is installed and running. you have php installed. You have to make sure file is in web root you can type http://localhost in your browser. does it show you anything? if yes then you can assume your server is working.

Hi birbal, I typed as http://localhost in my browser but nothing shows up. It says: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" I have installed "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" file into the following path: "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools" I am unable to understand what to do after double clicking "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" file. Hi thescientist, Mate, please hang on... You are taking me into too deep. Please do not confuse me. I don't want to get into all those details. I think birbal is taking me in a better way. I would prefer to follow birbal. Edited June 11, 2012 by creative1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amitamberker Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) http://www.php.net/m...all.general.php Hi justsomeguy, I think maybe there is yet another easier and simpler process. Upon reading birbal's 2 replies, I typed as http://localhost in my browser but nothing showed up. It said: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and then somehow I managed myself to install "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" file with the help of Google into the following path: "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools" Well -- So, in the following link: http://www.iis.net/C...er/httpProtocol under "How To" section I am stucked-up at: 2. In the Connections pane, go to the site, application, or directory for which you want to enable HTTP keep-alives.I am unable to understand how to go to the directory (index.php) for which I want to enable HTTP keep-alives.

justsomeguy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't understand how keep-alive has anything to do with installing PHP, but the directory is where you have your index.php, probably in a location similar to c:\inetpub\wwwroot. The IIS manager should also have a list of sites that you can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IIS manager should also have a list of sites that you can use. Hi justsomeguy, I don't know what does the term "keep-alive" in that sentence mean. I am still trying to analyze IIS manager. So, would you recommend me to create a "inetpub" Folder in my C: Drive and then "wwwroot" Folder inside the "inetpub" Folder? I am not able to see any sites in IIS Manager. WOW!!!... It's already there I mean, "inetpub" Folder and "wwwroot" Folder inside the "inetpub" Folder is already there in my C: Drive. So, now.................

justsomeguy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't know what does the term "keep-alive" in that sentence mean.Keep-alive is a feature of HTTP. The quote in post #20 indicates that you are trying to enable keep-alive, and I was wondering what that had to do with installing PHP. The link you posted to iis.net is an article about how to enable keep-alive which, again, I'm not sure what that has to do with installing PHP.

The link you posted to iis.net is an article about how to enable keep-alive which, again, I'm not sure what that has to do with installing PHP. Hi justsomeguy,No. I did not try to enable anything as such. I just wanted to share what all is happening and what is going on here. So, is it mandatory to install PHP (software / program) into my Laptop to view the Design of index.php (or any other .php) page from Browser? I thought the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" file should be able to resolve my issue without installinging PHP in my Laptop. Just now I searched as "how to install php on windows 7" on YouTube and found the following results:http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+install+php+on+windows+7&oq=how+to+install+php&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_l=youtube.1.0.0l10.146.28889.0.34557.17.14.0.3.3.0.750.3644.3j3j3j1j3j0j1.14.0...0.0.NU9paAyDcPQSo, which Video Tutorial should I watch? As per your post in #19, I tried my best to read that article. I have no idea which one to pick from:http://www.php.net/downloads.phpBy the way, is there a way to do something into my "Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007" editor so that .php could get published in a Normal Way like .html Files looks in the browser?

birbal Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) you can't run php files without installing php. IIS is webserver which can serve files no matter what it is. if your server is running and if you put any html file in web root eg index.html it will show that. installing php means when anyone request a page with .php extension php interpreter will execute it nd then iis will serve it.
