I'm trying to run PHP locally instead of on WorkSpaces. I have XAMPP downloaded and I have Apache and MySQL running. I am at the main screen in the phpmyadmin area.
I'm unsure what to do from here in order to run php code in the console. I've tried saving php files and running them in a browser, but that seems to be only for html, css, and js. Can anyone suggest how to proceed so I can run php code in a console?
