how can i open a .php in firefox or IE, or anything. If i build my webpage offline i cant even look at it without changing things to html. I really dont care if the php scripts run i just want to be able to view the webpage offline
The tedious way would be to run PHP from the command line and save the output as a .html file. The more convenient way would be to install a web server on your computer and have PHP run in that.
