Need for Server

• - PHP files cannot be read/interpreted directly by your browser
• - PHP files are expected to be on a server

• In normal/final conditions:
• • - PHP files are hosted on a server
  • • - ex. You upload your index.php file on cse104.org/yourDirectory/index.php
  • - You (the client) access the server from a URL
  • • - ex. You request cse104.org/yourDirectory/index.html

• For development conditions: need to emulate a server on the local machine
