Configure and setup the Development environment for PHP Core

Configure and setup the PHP Core environment

Project setup in htdocs, you can follow these steps:

1. First, you need to install a web server like Apache or XAMPP on your computer. This step is already covered, you can see the details here → Link.
2. Once you have installed the web server software, you need to locate the htdocs folder where you can store your website files. This folder is usually located in the installation directory of your web server software. For example, the htdocs folder would be located at
   “C:\xampp\htdocs”
3. Inside the htdocs folder, create a new folder with the name of your project. For instance, if you’re building a website for a university management software, you could name your folder “university-systems”. This folder will contain all the files and folders related to your project.
4. Place all the files and folders related to your project inside the folder you created in Step 3.
5. Now that your project files are stored in the htdocs folder, you can access them through your web browser. Open your web browser (like Chrome or Firefox or Brave) and type “localhost” into the address bar. This will take you to the default page of your web server software.
6. To access your project, simply append the name of your project folder to the URL. For instance, if your project folder is “university-systems”, you can access it by typing “localhost/university-systems” into the address bar.
