Getting my PHP to work locally -- Dreamweaver 4 So I'm just starting to put PHP in my webpages ... and when I preview the webpages w/Dreamweaver 4 the PHP stuff doesn't work. If I upload it to my webhost and goto the page it works fine. What do I need to get my PHP code to work locally? Is there a Dreamweaver 4 extension for this? Thanks!

You have to have PHP installed on your computer. I run
XAMPP locally and it works great as an all in one resource.

I edited the link. It should work now. Hope its al alternative solution for you. Make sure you place the files in the htdocs folder.
Either use
http://localhost/ or
http://127.0.0.1 to access your files once they are in the folder.

Another dumb question ... where's the htdocs folder? I don't see it off Dreamweaver 4 or my local website directories.

It depends on where you installed xampp. I installed it to my C:\, so it appears as C:\xampp\htdocs\

By default apache is installed in C:/Program Files/Apache HTTP Server/
you can find the htdocs folder in there. Also make sure you have PHP and the .htaccess file setup right.
http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com has a great article on how to set it all up.
