hi,

yes u can surely run php using Instant rails. You have to just create  
a your project folder in WWW folder present in  
instant rails. After that , go to the browser and type  
[http://localhost/project-folder](http://localhost/project-folder)  
name/filename and you will find that your  
php file working.

For running phpmyadmin you have to write [http://localhost/mysql/](http://localhost/mysql/) in  
the browser. They have give php option in  
instant rails because basically when instant rails starts APACHE  
server also starts working with it and php codes  
run on apache server.

i hope this will clear your doubt.

Regards,  
Vivek

hi Vivek

Thanks for your replay. but i was tried. i got like this

in php:

Replace this File!

This is the default index.html file being served out of the www  
directory.

You should replace this with something more appropriate.

in phpmyadmin:  
The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at localhost Port 80

thanks  
Karthik

Vivek,  
I would be thrilled to be able to run PHPAdmin on my Windows XP  
computer and I was hoping this thread would get me closer to that  
goal.  
Can you speak to this topic?  
Thank you,  
Kathleen

Phpmyadmin is used in InstantRails for managing the database and it does  
work. Apache is also there primarily for use by phpmyadmin. I do not  
know about the php directory but I imagine it is there for support of  
phpmyadmin.
