Courses Plus Student 1,403 PointsYou need to install Apache web server in your PC to make workable your .php file. Have you installed Apache web server in your machine? i am not sure which OS you are using but if you are in windows then install wamp or xamp server on your PC. just Google it you will get the documentation and download link. If you have any question regarding this reply me.

Launch the web server and through your web browser access the localhost and whatever default ports are define. You should be able to view the results for your codes.
The url is usually => localhost or the via ip => 127.0.0.1
I don't know what you are running, but for mine it is called htdocs or www.
