How to open PHP5 file?

The most common problem when using PHP 5 Web Page is that a specific PHP5 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PHP5, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PHP5 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Web server

The first step is to check if the computer has the Web server program installed. This can be achieved by typing Web server into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PHP5 with Web server. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PHP5 files.

Step 2. Create association of Web server with PHP5 files

If, despite the installed application, the PHP5 file does not start in the Web server application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PHP5 file with the Web server program.

Step 3. Update Web server to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Web server program with the PHP 5 Web Page file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PHP5 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PHP5 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PHP5 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PHP5 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PHP5 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PHP5 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PHP5 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PHP5 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PHP5 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
