Xamp
 

I intend to start learning php so I downloaded XAMP and installed it on my PC.

I want to start running my php codes. Where do I write them? Is there another alternative I can use as my editor? Can I just use macromedia dreamweaver?

Help! Somebody, please Help!

Yes, you can use Dreamweaver to write your code. Save it in

[drive]:\[path to XAMPP]\htdocs\

Once it's saved there, and XAMPP is installed and running, go to: http://localhost/ and run the file from there.

XAMPP is just a local we server to execute PHP code like on a real server. It doesn't matter what you use to write your code with.

You can also use AppServ.
