    HTML offline

    Have just started to use html/php and would like to test scripts offline.
    My browser is Rekonq.
    How should I run scrip locally.
    I have an html file("test") containing:-
    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "My first PHP script!";
?>

</body>
</html>
    Inserting "file:///home/bill/test" as the url invokes kate editor with test loaded. Same thing if I double click on 'test'

    Where am I going wrong?

    In the Rekong browser, click on file open icon (you may need to reconfigure Rekong to show this icon. Select the file /home/bill/test.php
    This file should be named "test.php" to pass it through your local php processor.

    Do you have php (php5) loaded on your system?
    Kubuntu 23.11 64bit under Kernel 6.8.8, Hp Pavilion, 6MB ram. All Bow To The Great Google... cough, hack, gasp.

      I see you found the W3School PHP tutorial page! Good place to start.
      The repository has php5, which you should install, plus a host of auxiliary tools and utilities for php, depending on what you plan to use php for.
      Here is a list of repository packages that depend on php5:

        Thanks for the replies,
        As far as I know, php5 is running. If I type 'php5' in terminal then 'ctrl+z' I get the message '[4]+ Stopped php5'
        Have changed index.php to test.php
        Opening that file (now with Firefox) I'm asked what to open it with.
        Any more ideas?

          You test html/css/php/javascript files directly in your web browser. You can either right-click on the file and select open with then choose the web browser you want it to open or run the web browser and select file open then select the html/php file you want to open.

          As TWPonKubuntu has said it is a good idea to give the file an appropriate file extension, such as if it is a html file then give it the extension filename.html or likewise fora php file filename.php or for Javascript filename.js etc.

          Happy coding.

              Where it says open with, simply change the option to firefox

                You can't run php-files inside a browser. Simply impossible. Same goes for php includes in a html-file (<?php etc.). That's why the browser offers to download it.
                php is a serverside language, what means you have to run it on a server, not inside firefox/konqueror/... The server has to process the php. The browser only gets a html-file with no php in it. The server inserts/translates/etc. the php into html.

                If you want to test php files, you have to do that on a server. If you have a site hosted somewerhe, there's a good chance the hoster has implemented php so you can test it there, after uploading. The file has to have the extension php, so the server knows it has to look for php. A html file with php in it also has to have the extension php, otherwise the server has no way to know it has to look for and process php.
                If you host on apache there's a way to write something in the .htaccess file to process every html-file like it is a php-file, but not every hoster gives access tot the .htaccess file. And if they do, not every hoster gives permission to treat every html-file like it is php, because that's taking extra processing time. (It's useless to look in a plain html-file for php, but in this configuration this is exactly what's happening.)

                The other way to test php is to install a server on your own computer. I always test php on a server outside, but I used to do it on my computer. For me lampp worked well: http://tutorialsea.com/kb/linux-tuto...in-a-linux-os/
                Warning: this worked well for me some years ago, but it are packages from outside the kubuntu distribution. It's very well possible there are better and safer ways to install a server just using kubuntu packages, but I've no experience with that.

                  Ah! Thank you. Have been testing & running .php files on my website. I thought I could speed things up by operating locally on my pc.
                  Now I know that this is not possible I'm happy to continue as before.
                  Thanks again

                    Glad I could help. But you can speed it up if you install a local server. I remember it was not that hard. If you have to change a lot of php a lot of times, it's worth considering it.
