Well, there are a lot of editors out there so you can use whatever you like. Old school folks swear by (or at) vi while other just use TextEdit with all the rich text stuff turned off. There are numerous other editors out there including the one built into xCode but I'm sure folks would chime in if you asked.

open a browser and type localhost, or 127.0.0.0 which is the same thing.

See what if anything, comes back.
If you get 404 page not found, then you don't have any kind of web service
running.
It's something that would need a lot of set up,  certainly some setup for
security's sake.

I'd presume the Mail function would be available to PHP scripts,  I have
been known to write a simple form in a small .html file,  which points back
to a not very complicated .php file to process it,  which submits contents
of the fields to the mail function;  my simplest and quickest way to get an
email out without fuss.
I dare say a spammer could use an iteration loop to do it on mass.
But there's some useful basic stuff one can scribble in PHP you could
operate via local web pages. With sql running, you have a great database
system to do things with.
Could place to test file sets before uploading to your public hosting
platform or service.

This is what I used XAMPP for these past years. That was the Win version.

For stuff like this, I could really like Mac, if I could get to really like
its Editr.

Just curious why you need MAMP when OSX already has Apache and PHP
installed? Seems like it would be less work to just install MySQL on top
of the existing stuff.

This sounds like a browser setting that prepends, by assumption, that all

it.

A page with a link like that is erronious. Glad to see someone else using
that product, I used a variant on XP for years.

Hi there,

I was having some problems with my installation of MAMP, so I have
removed
it and downloaded the most recent version and installed it.

I am unable to get to the default web location, I just get the main start
page.  When I click on the "My Website" link, I get a message that Safari
can't find www.localhost - Why would it be looking for www.localhost
instead
of localhost and how can I change/fix this?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tia,
Jeff
