I apologize for such an elementary question but I am new to PHP.
If there is an FAQ that addresses this please let me know.
I have some PHP that works fine on my Dell Win2K XP when I use "php.exe"
and "php-cgi.exe"; not sure how these executeables got there but
someone must have installed them. But what I need to do is have PHP
scripts run in my Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 browser. Currently they don't.
Do I need to install some plugin for my browser? If so can someone
provide a URL? Or if not maybe you could advise me on what needs to be done.
Thank you.

You need to save the files in your web server, in the appropriate
folder.
eg I'm using phpdev (bundled apache web server + php + mysql) so would
save them in c:/phpdev/www

Run a local webserver (like Apache), and open the pages in your browser. It
isn;t actually the browser that's running them, but the webserver offcourse.
To my knowledge browsers cannot run PHP.
XAMP is a nice package that will install Apache, PHP & MySQL in one go
without much hassle for testing at home.

Actually, that could be a useful plugin for FF. Have it invoke php.exe
if you were accessing the PHP file locally. Sure, the ideas is riddled
with potential security holes, but it might be handy. In fact, it'd be
really nifty to make it an integrated debugger, so while the page is
loading it'll break out and let you play with things as the page loads.

PHP isn't run by browsers, like Javascript. It's run on the webserver.
You need a local webserver with PHP support and then point your browser
to 'localhost'.

Install and configure a local webserver. If you don't want the hassle of
installing and configuring all the needed parts yourself (You are going
to need at least Apache and PHP, most likely also a database server like
MySQL, if the scripts use databases.) you can go for one of the
preconfigured all-in-one packages like XAMPP, which you can find here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
These are perfectly ok, if you just want to test some scripts by other
people. However, if you get into serious developing yourself I would
advise you to install all packages yourself from scratch. That way you
will learn how everything works together and you can also choose which
version of which packages you want to run.

I haven't written many web apps that can run out of the server context:
most of then depend on $_SERVER or $_POST.
It maight be useful for shell scripts but... once again, I write scripts to
run in console :)

PHP isn't run by browsers, like Javascript. It's run on the webserver.
PHP is a general purpose scripting language as is JavaScript. PHP is
*usually* run on server side and JS in the browser.
PHP for Windows supports ActiveScript and that makes it possible to host
it in browser supporting this interface (e.g. IE). On the other hand
JavaScript has been used as server side scripting (ASP, GoAhead embedded
server, etc.)
Back to original question, it will require certain development effort to
plug PHP as alternative scripting engine into Firefox. Source code for
both is available ...

I'm programming a JS tile map editor for my friend's game. The map
editor has different "sections" that contain different tiles. The way
that it works is when you select a section it calls a JS function that
changes the src of a script tag that contains the array of tiles for
that section, then reloads the tile selection table. This works great
in IE, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't update the array when I switch JS
files. I've tried putting a...

problem:
Mozilla/Firefox seems to be wrong when rendered elements with sizes

set to the value of "scroll")
To check the written above please use the given below code

I am currently developping a user interface with Ajax/C#/.net. And I am

I use the function innerHTML to load a Web UserControl into a div, this

I wrote a program that grabs the url of the IE windows that are opened

It works but not for firefox.
Does anyone know how to do it for Mozilla/Firefox?
Thanks a lot
