To run a PHP file on XAMPP, you need to complete the following steps:

  1. Install and launch XAMPP: First, you need to download the XAMPP software to your computer and follow the instructions in the installation wizard. Once the installation is completed, open the XAMPP control panel and start the Apache and MySQL services.
  2. Place the PHP file in the appropriate directory: By default, in XAMPP, the document root directory for Apache is “htdocs”. Put your PHP file in that directory, or create a new subdirectory within the “htdocs” directory and place the file there.
  3. Launch the web browser: Open your favorite web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, etc.
  4. Accessing PHP files in a browser: Enter “localhost/your_file.php” in the address bar of your browser, where “your_file.php” is the file name of the PHP file you placed in step 2. Press enter, and you will be able to see the output of the PHP file in your browser.

Please ensure that your PHP files have correct syntax and logic in order to run properly. If there are errors in the PHP file, XAMPP will display an error message.
