npm live-server not reading php files

Question

I'm very new to Git, and I just installed live server and I run it via terminal. I noticed that it only runs .html files rather than .php files. It basically skips reading them so instead of running index.php, it gives me a directory listing. If I use an html file, it works fine. Is there any work around to this?

Answer 1

There is no. This server works only with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

If you want PHP you need more powerful server (Apache, nginx, lighttpd, etc.)
