I am new to PHP and would like to know how I can see my PHP program using my local machine as the server. Thanks.

Open your web browser and type "http://localhost/" into the location bar, then hit go. Depending on your server and type of web server program you have, it will show the index page for you.

I type "http://localhost/" and I also try "http://127.0.0.1/" All I get in each case is a blank page. My Apache server is running. Maybe I didn't configure something right? Also, when I save a file in the root directory and then try to run it from my browser, the page doesn't exist.

and you're positive that that's the httpdocument home dir. you're putting(saving) it in?
