well i have got a folder of php files which was used to build a website, how can i run this application on my machine. like running in debug mode using .net framework. everytime i try to run this app it request for athe dreamweaver sites but php doesnt run in dreamweaver. by running i mean opening a php page eg index.php in dreamweaver and the F12 in dreamweaver. is this how im supposed to do it.

You need to set up your computers local server to parse php files you can either install php on iis or install it on apache (try googling "xampp"). With xampp: - install xampp and make sure apache is running - put website in htdocs folder (ie. c://xampp/htdocs/[websitefoldername]). "htdocs" folder is your web doc root (like "wwwroot") - run dreamweaver - choose "manage sites" from the file panel - click "New" - "advanced" tab - give site name and enter the path to your website as local root folder (ie. c://xampp/htdocs/[websitefoldername]) - category -> testing server - sever model = php mysql - access = local network - testing server folder = the path to your website as local root folder (ie. c://xampp/htdocs/[websitefoldername]) - url prefix = http://localhost/\[websitefoldername\] - open a file and press F12 Hope that helps

Either your site manager isn't configured correctly in DW or your Server setup isnt parsing php files. If you put a blank php doc in your wwwroot it should load up as a blank webpage if you open your browser and go to localhost/pathtoyourphpfile.php. If it doesn't then you know your server isn't parsing the files. If your site doesn't have to be tested on IIS then I would suggest trying apache (xampp) as described before.

if you do use apache. you have to disable all IIS services. (start->run->services.msc)

whichever one is working i guess - create a document in your wwwroot and see if you can access it through your browser Installing php on IIS6 http://peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html[^]

If you want to run PHP under IIS, IIS-Aid website[^] has a handy installer I prefer running PHP under IIS if you're developing on a Windows box. You also have to go into the IIS Management Console and turn on scripting for the folders under your wwwroot that you want to run PHP scripts in. There's a handy getting started tutorial in the PHP documentation [^]as well, also it tells you how to manually install PHP.

Notepad, or Textpad is pretty good. I don't know of any IDE to edit php files like dreamweaver.

I usually use IIS ASAPI Module, and here is an article that will help you setup php in IIS for the ISAPI module http://www.hostmysite.com/support/dedicated/general/installphp/[^] Hope that helps
