I am about to switch my site over to php and was wondering if there was a way to display a php generated page on my local computer? My browsers(ie and firefox) both just show the actual php code.

Thanks

You need to be running a local server on your machine. Do a serch via Google for Xampp and instal that on your PC. Then you will be able to fully develop and run PHP locally using http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/

There's also EasyPHP to use too!

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html <thats the xamp site. So much easier then installing you own but it might be a good idea to at least try installing your own as it gives you a bit more control and something to put on your cv!

Is this just an emulator?

No, Xampp is not an emulator, it is a full Apache implementation.

Thanks!
