[Answered] Running A .php File

[Wikier]

I need to run update.php file to finish updating my mediawiki. I cannnot copy the files on my computer and run it, as the .php file requires the database, which is located on the server. Is there any way to run .php file on the server?

Our server is set up to run php files as it is.

So how can I run the .php file?

You just need to go to the location of that php file in your browser.

I don't want to sound like an utter idiot ... but how do I do that? Do I just enter the map? And in which browser (internet, file, manager)?

@wikier you can type the codes in a php file and upload it to your space provided by heliohost , through FTP or Cpanel file manager , then just open any browser and type in the url to the file.

 

if your website address is wikier.com or any thing, and the file name is myfile.php ,and its just placed in public HTML folder , then open any browser and typing wikier.com/myfile.php will run the file.

 

I think you area having C++ or Java back ground , there is no complying here in PHP , or you must be new to these, dont worry the community will give u a good hand.
