WampServer

Please am new in this forum and this is my first post, I installed wamp server , the wamp icon turns green when started, my php works well in Mozilla Firefox, but my issue is that it doesn't work in other browsers (opera, explorer, chrome) . Whenever I try to open my " .php file " in opera, chrome and explorer browsers It only open a completely white / blank page.
Please I need assistance. My coding is correct, it's all html codes but saved as php file. I was trying to test the wamp server with this ".Php file "

Hi,

Can you try using `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` in the address bar of the browsers that are not showing your html pages please.

Does that work?

Hi,

How do you try to "open" the .php file?

I open it from my html editor (dreamweaver) file >preview in browser .

The point is, whenever I try to open the php file in a browser it tries to download the file instead of opening it as a web file

Hi,

> I open it from my html editor (dreamweaver) file >preview in browser .
You put your file in a folder itself located in wamp(64)\www\, for example wamp(64)\www\mysite\myfile.php

And you launch your file by typing in the address bar of the browser: 'http://localhost/mysite/myfile.php'

But, the solution is to use VirtualHost for your local sites, as with all hosting providers.

I have a virtual host(wamp server) it turns green when I click start. My file is saved in my web folder which is in the www folder.

Hi,

> I have a virtual host(wamp server)
No, it is a server web, not a VirtualHost.
You didn't read The need for Virtual Host
