When you've copied the file hello.php into the www folder, you can run it by clicking the EasyPHP icon in the Windows system tray (the area in the bottom-right corner of your Windows display). When you click the icon, you'll see a text menu. Click the Local Web option. At this point, you'll see a Web page listing all the PHP files in the www folder, as well as your recently added hello.php file. All the files in this folder are listed along with the following attributes: date and time last modified, size, and description (Figure 4).

You can also edit the files inside the www folder; the changes will be reflected the next time you run the file.
