How to run a php file by double clicking?

Question

Is there any way to run a php file by a shortcut in hard drive?..not by writing any protocol in the browser. I am making an online examination system in PHP. And I using Wampserver. I want to run my first page from a shortcut(like html), from then other linked pages will run sequentially.thanks in advance....

Answer 1

First Copy your local url from browser http://localhost/xxx/xxx.php

Then go to your desktop press Right click in Mouse choose -> New -> Shortcut.

Now paste copied Link then press next and finish button shortcut ready.

Then copy that shortcut and paste it in anywhere.

If your wampserver is on, you can place this meta HTML tag in your .html file:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://localhost/index.php">

It's an HTML way of redirecting, content is the number of seconds after which you want the redirect to take place and url is the location you want to redirect to.
