Any suggestions ... :)

Answer 1

Assuming Windows:

Navigate to your "localhost" folder (usally): C:\xampp\htdocs

Create a new folder called "ravi", and inside that folder create a file called: index.php

Put all your PHP code in that index.php file and save the file.

Then, after starting XAMPP, navigate to: http://localhost/ravi/

And you'll see your script running.

Answer 2

Of course your index.php should follow the php rules. For example your code has to start with

<?php

and end with ?>
