本地 PHP 文件无法在 Firefox 中打开

Question

When I right click my local PHP file and select "open with Firefox" Firefox gets the focus for a second, but then the file opens in Dreamweaver instead. The same happens when I drag the file onto Firefox, or enter the URL ("file:///...") manually, or expressly select Firefox as the default application for PHP files. How can I get Firefox to show the file?

Answer 1

Firefox is not capable of handling PHP files, therefore it delegates their handling to a program that can do so (in your case, this is Dreamweaver).

PHP files should be served by a web server to the client (Firefox), which will display you the rendered content (probably HTML). PHP files are rendered by the PHP interpreter and then they are served using the HTTP protocol to a client as a web resource. So actually, you never open a PHP file with a browser, you just consume the HTTP resource that corresponds to the rendered output of that file.

Answer 2

Firefox can show .html-files. You have to install a webserver (xampp) to interprete .php-files. When xampp is installed, start xampp-control-panel, open your browser and (in case ur file is "test.php" in "c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\test.php") and type http://localhost/test.php .

But first, right-click any php-file->Open with...->choose program, then select Firefox in the list.

Answer 3

You must install a local web server like xamp, wamp or easyphp.

Then you locate your files in that's www directory and see your file in browser with path:

localhost/myphp.php

Have a good time.

Answer 4

I have this solution to open a php on linux :

php -S localhost:8000 

and open a firefox and go to the page : http://localhost:8000/index.php It works well for me.

Answer 5

The quickest way is to rename localhost/yourfile.php onto localhost/yourfile.html. (Tested on loop's Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

Answer 6

You should deactivate adblock for localhost (or your domain), it should runs. ABP icon -> click on deactivate on localhost -> F5
