I put my php files here:

xampplite/htdocs/xampp

then to access them do:

http://localhost/xampp/

that will bring up the xampp menu where you can access phpmyadmin and sql. If you just want to load php docs then if you put your file in the htdocs/xampp/ area then you type:

http://localhost/xampp/filename.php

It will load the php file then. Its best to create a folder to put your php files in such as:

http://localhost/xampp/folder/filename.php

If all you get is a page error when doing any of this you haven't started apache, go into the xampp folder click the xampp-control then click start apache, start sql. Then it will all work correctly.

Okay. I'm at my grandma's, but I will definetly do that when I get home. and thanks for telling me that cortes, I thought that it was just some cheap rip off to PHP.

np. what i usually do is install xamp then visit local host that will bring you to the xampp setup page then i customize all my settings and security then change the httpd.conf and change the root line to where my websites are stored.

Haha I didn't ignore it, I just kinda didn't understand it perfectly (I skim read). But okay, I get what your saying. Hopefully when I do it I wont get the "This page cannot be displayed" message.
