running php on mamp

Question

I already installed MAMP in my macbook pro. I want to run a php. what can i do?

Answer 1

If you have done everything right, open your browser and type this:

http://localhost

to see if it opens successfully and then you can open your sites.

Also check out the mamp's documentation on how to configure it and run php scripts.

Answer 2

Drop the PHP file into the HTDOCs folder in MAMP, for example let's call it hello_world.php and now you can run it by going to:

http://localhost/hello_world.php

Answer 3

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/hello.php

Will then appear in http://localhost:8888/hello.php

:)

Answer 4

Depending on the port settings of MAMP (Preferences -> Ports) you have to call http://localhost:8888/filename.php (MAMP ports) or http://localhost/filename.php (default ports). The file "filename.php" have to be located in this folder: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/
