Right. I have spent hours trying to learn PHP, but mainly installing it. Is there any way that i can upload it to the internet considering my ISP is BT. If so, how? or what should i do? Thank you. Sorry to be an annoyance >.<

Ok, I see, how are you connected to the internet? If you're connected via router/modem, then you'll probably find that you'll need to set up port forwarding on your router. If you're not sure about that, [URL]http://www.portforward.com/[/URL] is a good place to start.

And just to confuse matters, its also possible that your apache is currently configured to not allow public viewing. But make sure you have the IP/port forwarding bit sorted out first before worrying about that.

The 'http://localhost/hello.php' works fine, but i want other people to be able to view the site

If its port 80, then you can just do http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/hello.php
If you need to specify a port then the format is http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/hello.php

Not entirely sure what it is you're doing here, but if its installed on your local machine then http://localhost/hello.php should be sufficient.

I tried it. Entering 'http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.80/hello.php' (where xx.xxx... is my IP) and i got "The page cannot be displayed" i checked and i'm pretty sure it's port 80

You have apache and php installed right?

Just run the server, then http://your.ip.number:portnumber/ will direct anyone to your default web folder (default = htdocs in apache dir)

So anything you put in that web folder will be on the internet.

BTW I think the default port number for apache 2.0 is 8080. And I think if it's port 80 you don't need to add it to the URL.

But I'm guessing you know all that already.
