Configuring Notepad ++ to run php on localhost?

Question

I am trying to get the Run-> Launch With Firefox option; to open the file that I am viewing in Notepad ++ at http://127.0.0.1:8080/currentfile.php , but instead it just opens to the current file directory in Firefox .. I tried to edit the shortcut of the xml file in the Notepad + directory +, I closed Notepad ++ down and edited the XML file using the usual Notepad, and when I started the Notepad ++ backup, it does not show the entered settings. How do I change the settings for loading the local host, not the file directory in Firefox?

Answer 1

well two things

• you edited the wrong file, I assume that you are using Windows Vista / 7, so the real settings files are in the folder C: \ Users \ user \ AppData \ Roaming \ Notepad ++

• I do not think that notepad ++ has a variable containing only half the address

Value: now the variable $ (FULL_CURRENT_PATH) == file: /// C: /server/htdocs/pages/example.php is used

therefore, you do not have a variable containing only these /example.php pages.

so i think it's impossible

but just save the page and refresh it after editing

Here's a quick and dirty fix for running php files, even if they are in subdirectories inside your document root. In shortcuts.xml:

 <Command name="Launch in Firefox" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88">firefox &quot;http://localhost/redirect.php?file=$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> 

Then create the file "redirect.php" in the root document of your web server:

 <?php $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $file = str_replace('\\', '/', $_GET['file']); $file = str_replace($root, '', $file); header("Location: http://localhost{$file}");

If you save the PHP file directly to the www WAMP directory (without subfolders), you can execute it by selecting the "Run ..." command and paste into this line:

 firefox.exe "http://localhost/$(FILE_NAME)" 

This is not great, but it will help you debug in jiffy.

I know this is an old question, but:

but. Gneid solution works well. However, Windows may require some modification, so DOCUMENT_ROOT will be replaced before the slash is replaced. Otherwise, no replacement will be made, and the $ file will be displayed in the same way as the original path and file name, except that backslashes are canceled.

Since I'm testing in multiple browsers, I modified all the relevant lines in C: \ Users [username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Notepad ++ \ shortcuts.xml:

 <Command name="Launch in Firefox" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="88">firefox &quot;http://localhost/redirect.php?file=$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in IE" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="73">iexplore &quot;http://localhost/redirect.php?file=$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in Chrome" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="82">chrome &quot;http://localhost/redirect.php?file=$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> <Command name="Launch in Safari" Ctrl="yes" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="70">safari &quot;http://localhost/redirect.php?file=$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)&quot;</Command> 

Then create the file "redirect.php" in the network root directory as follows:

 <?php $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $file = $_GET['file']; $file = str_replace($root, '', $file); $file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file); header("Location: http://localhost{$file}"); ?>

Forgot sign / after local

 <?php $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $file = $_GET['file']; $file = str_replace($root, '', $file); $file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file); # Was forgotten mark / header("Location: http://localhost/{$file}"); ?> 

Answer 6

this is the code that worked for me:

 <?php $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $file = $_GET['file']; $file = str_replace($root, '', $file); $file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file); $file = str_replace('C:/wamp64/www/', '', $file); // Cause 'localhost' is equal to 'C:/wamp64/www/' in my case. header("Location: http://localhost/{$file}"); ?> 

Thanks to everyone ..
