| generally pressing F5 should start your browser pointing to the current
| HTML file. Instead of pressing F5 you can also use the file menu
| Build->Execute or the Execute icon in the toolbar.

| If it doesn't work open the preferences dialog and the browser setting

| 
| The above should work with any HTML file.

| PHP files can also be executed but by default it is assumed to execute
| them directly with the PHP command line interpreter. To open them in a
| web browser with a specific URL (file:// isn't suitable in most cases)
| you have to edit the filetype definition file for the PHP filetype.
| For details of finding and editing this file please read [1].
| There is an example at the end of the file which demonstrates how to
| use a local webserver for parsing PHP files. I hope this helps a bit.

Enrico,

Thanks, the F5 worked. Also, I'll check out the file for the PHP files. I guess I'll just start the XAMPP server to run the PHP files. I appreciate the help!

Do you, or anybody else, know of any other Web sites that have tips, etc. for Geany?
