In most cases, simply copying or symlinking the PHP files to /var/www is sufficient for you to view the results at http://localhost/ - an alternative is to create ~/public_html and put the files there. Again, in most cases, /home/*/public_html is a preset Apache location and it is referenced using, in your case, http://localhost/~neil/ - as I mentioned in another email. > > > So I upload them to > > > my web site and test them there.

It's actually a very bad way to test - it's long winded, it's prone to error and it means that 90% of the time, your website is just plain broken. > If I create a php file on my computer and want to run it to see if it > does what I expect, how do I do that?

Apache, mysql etc. are installed and running, all you need to do is put the files in a place that apache can find them and ensure you have database access via mysql -p. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
