make it work anywhere

[Toxicous8]

Hi, I'm fine, thank you for asking.But I have a problem with php again.I've been able to install xampp correctly.And I have run my first php file just fine.Although in order to make the .php file run, it must be in the "htdocs" folder.Is it possible to run the file outside the folder(in the desktop specifically)?And how please???

you have to tell the server where the web root folder is. for an apache server that is typically done in the httpd.conf file, see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/curren...html#directory
