Yup, I am a total newbie! Help please

Post by PHP_Newbie »

Hi, I am currently a very, very inexperienced person in using PHP. I have made a Notepad document and I put this:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Of course, this was all on 1 line but when I saved it as phpinfo.php it did not do anything to save it in my documents. Instead, it put itself as a link on my desktop! I am a PHP user in training and so... I was told this action would show me all of my Websites PHP info once Uploaded to it. I use VDeck and it seems as though it is not a real web host according to some of my friends that know PHP... Anyways, if it is a real web host that has PHP installed, where do I upload this file to... and how do I find this file once saved as phpinfo.php?

Have you already installed some kind of php-able webserver, like e.g. the xampp package?
