notepad++ console output

[ged25]

I'm trying to code php in notepad++. How do I get the compiler result to show up in the console output window ?

You'll need to use something like XAMPP to send the result to your browser.

I'm afraid I don't get you. I don't want anything sent to the browser. I just want the results (how many errors etc) shown in the console output window in notepad++.

I don't think you can. You'd have to open the file yourself inside of a browser either using xampp like WP said or some other hosting. Then run the file from your browser.

You don't compile PHP, it's interpreted by your webserver.

If you open up your PHP file in a web browser, it will return any errors to the page itself.

The best way to test PHP is to either use a webhost (internet) or local host (xampp like WP said above). The cheaper way is xampp as it's free and it's very easy to set up, just google xampp to create your own local server.

I have WAMP installed on my computer. You can run php from command line.
You can read about it here.
I have the program on my system and I am able to compile a file using command prompt. I just need the output to be piped to notepad++ console output.
This, I guess, is a general question. I need it specifically for php but there should be a way to do this in any language. It looks like I'm missing some setting that I should select.

WAMP is a good software.

I feel only administrator privileges can install the WAMP .....I used; it works good.
