Quick question re: how to publish PHP script to localhost using WAMP editor
Really new to PHP. I have a command line script that works that I want to now publish to localhost and run via a browser. When I double click the script (in a Windows window) it opens the editor, which is fine. But Publish seems to publish the WebMatrix 3 splash, not my script.
What web server do you have installed? And is PHP setup to run in that web server? IIS? Apache? WAMP? XAMPP?

I installed WAMP, so I assume my server is Apache. Praveen, I followed your steps (WAMP was previously installed), but don't understand step 7. In the tray I have the WebMatrix3 icon, which only reopens the editor. I do have an icon for WAMP on my desktop, but double clicking that does nothing.

Thanks to all. My son finally came over and had mercy on me. He made one of our URLs available to me, so I'm running it out of that for my learning experiments.
