Need to run a php file in my site

Question

I have a .php file to send mail from my website. How I can run the php file in my domain ? Do I need to install any server in my domain space ?

Answer 1

Create a file with filename 'test.php'

Put following code in it:

<?php

echo 'test';

?>

Upload the file to your server

Open it in Browser via http://yourdomain.tld/test.php

Does it show the word test?

Answer 2

Yes! Your server must run some php interpreter , that in this case will be the Apache Server .

Also you have to configure his modules to send mail also.

In must of hosting servers Apache is free and It's already installed.
