HTML or any of your start page and you can click on this button here or you can just right click and click on PHP server Ser project and as you can see your project is now running you can test out some code here and see if it works or not and as you can see our PHP file is executed you can go back and this time let's enter a wrong information click on login and as you can see our login. PHP is saying invalid username or password so this is how you can set up phite in vs code now you can see this message here that says serving project you can right click and click on stop server and this time if you reload as you can see nothing will happen because our server is stopped so this is how you can create your Visual Studio code if you have any questions let me know in the comments below
