Files Storage problem ?

[anjaliRavi]

I have installed PHP on windows 2000 and using IIS....wanted to know ...where should we store our php files ? and what should be the address given in the browser to run those php files ? Can we store php files anywhere ?

extension_dir="C:\INETPUB\SCRIPTS\PHP\EXTENSIONS\"

this is the path in my php.ini file...

If you want your PHP files to be accesible to people through the webserver, you put them in the same directory as you'd put your htm or html files. Usually htdocs, www, or data under Apache, don't remember for IIS but something similar I'm sure.

If you DONT' want them to be accesible via the web ( maybe a file full of usernames, passwords that gets included ) you can put it ANYWHERE.
