Run HTML/PHP on Server - VSCode Extension

Overview

The "Run HTML/PHP on Server" extension for Visual Studio Code allows you to quickly run and serve HTML and PHP files on a local server with an auto-refresh feature. It is designed to streamline the development workflow for web developers by providing a simple way to view and automatically refresh HTML and PHP files in the browser.

Features

• Serve HTML and PHP files on a local server.
• Auto-refresh functionality for a seamless development experience.
• Works with Visual Studio Code to enhance your web development workflow.

Getting Started

1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Open your HTML or PHP file in Visual Studio Code.
3. Run the command Run HTML on Server from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
4. The extension will start a local server and open the file in your default web browser with auto-refresh enabled.

Configuration

No additional configuration is required. The extension uses the extension's directory as the static content root and automatically adds an auto-refresh meta tag to the served HTML or PHP file.

Notes

• PHP files are processed through a PHP interpreter (assuming PHP is installed on your machine).
• The server runs on port 3001 by default. Make sure this port is not occupied by other applications.
