I am very new to web development in general and am only at the stage of installing and working WAMP server on my PC which operates windows vista (I will use LINUX at a later date) but first I just want to solve this so I can get to work on figuring out and learning PHP as a language.
I've installed WAMP and all appears to be working (http://localhost/ is functioning) However I'm now at the point where I have some .html & .php documents ready to use but cannot for the life off of me figure out how to work them on my machine. The .html docs work in my browser but when I click on something like "submit" (to execute the counterpart .php file) the page fails and just reveals a section of text made up of PHP code, instead of the dynamically generated webpage that sould result from clicking submit.
I have a feeling these .html and .php files need to be saved and stored in a localhost folder??? If so where do I find this folder (I have looked in vien!)
Thanks
