i copied a simple php test code from a website to a notebook . this is supposed to output the current date. I save it as test1.php then on my browser i typed in //localhost/test1.php but it says cannot find the page though i can run just //localhost. The test1.php was copied to www directory same as where the index.php is located. Does it need to have a php editor to create a PHP code? Please help. Thank you.

If you have wamp installed create a folder in the www folder and place your test1.php inside it. Then rename test1.php to index.php You should see something.

You dont need a special php editor. You can edit in notepad aslong as yousave it as .php

thanks for the respond. I could do that but the thing is if i want to call another php code such as test1.php in my index.php - it will give me the same error again.

Use an include or require function in the top of your script to include your test1.php file. I prefer to use include_once and require_once myself, makes the php code more efficient.

include fuction:
[us3.php.net]

require function:
[us3.php.net]

include_once function:
[us3.php.net]

require_once function:
[us3.php.net]
