a newbie to the PHP world,  using xampp to setup for a testing server (local only) for php page.  I have followed David Power's Setting up a PHP Development environment for dreamweaver but can't get it to show in Live View.  Up until that point everything seems right.  I must having something wrong in the setup somewhere but can't find.  Even after removing the "test site" 3 times and started over.

my site server setup is:

PHP Test Site

Local/Network

c:/xammp/htdocs/php_test/

url http://localhost/php_test/     ( have tried http://localhost/htdocs/php_test/ with same result)

My ultimate goal to setup a page for one login user to post (update a recordset?) job postings on their website. If there is something else that would work please let me know.

thanks

The first setting is right.  However, XAMPP does not usually install on the default ports (80 and 3306).  Are you using the default ports or custom ports?  If you are using custom ports then your address should be http://localhost:port/php_test .

I checked those, yes they are on 80 and 3306 right from default.
