Good morning.
I was wondering what I’m doing wrong. When I publish a php file to xamp with the MySQL connector the page opens as a text file rather than in a browser. Thanks for any help.

Its was the php code that wysiwyg generates I never saw you had to preview on a web server.

It has nothing to do with the code generated. It will work the same in xamp as it will if you uploaded to your host that supports php. It is just unfortunately we do not offer assistance with xamp (local server) or any external server configurations.

OOps sorry thats what i was told over at xampp that it had to be previewed on a server I thought it should work. Will have another look. Could be xampp thats faulty.
Thanks again.

You should be publishing to C:\xampp\htdocs or a folder within C:\xampp\htdocs
Pointing your browser to
http://localhost or a folder e.g.
http://localhost/test1
I.e. assuming your homepage is index.html or index.php
