webuilder instead of wampserver for previewing html

Post by thjbd »

hi
currently i use wampserver for previewing html files. i use localhost for previewing files because some chrome extensions only work in localhost/servers.
is it possible to use webuilder instead of wampserver to preview html files in localhost?

Yes, it is possible. See this Knowledge Base article to learn how to preview PHP files using built-in web server:

If I remember correctly, there is no auto preview for PHP files. This was decided a long time ago. The team felt that it would be too dangerous since PHP files often modify database and manipulate files, and would do so every time the auto preview was refreshed, which could be undesirable. Furthermore it could delete the wrong thing if SQL query is half-written, for an example. But we are willing to discuss this and maybe see a different perspective.
