The basics required to host a web site written in PHP (commonly):

  • A server
  • A Linux OS
  • Apache http webserver
  • PHP

This would be the most used set up for a PHP web site, normally this would also include installing MySQL as a database server which would complete what is commonly referred to as a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

There is software and emulators available that will allow you to run PHP and many different types of servers including Windows and IIS, but the above is the most commonly accepted set up.

How do you create your own torrent site..........A video tutorial will be very helpful?

The process is a bit too long and boring to be put into a video tutorial. You need to first learn to write HTML, and maybe CSS and Javascript or PHP if you want the site to be pretty. After that you need to find a host willing to host torrent files uploaded by you or your users, and provide links to the torrent files on your site which would also need to be hosted. You should have large amounts of bandwidth available with the host that hosts your torrent files which would be quite expensive.

Why does your browser try to save rather than open your PHP scripts?

PHP is a server-side scripting language, which means that scripts are interpreted and executed by the server before PHP pages are sent to the client (the browser). The server replaces PHP scripts with the output it obtains from their execution and then transmits to the client the output thus obtained. Hence, your browser cannot execute PHP scripts, but it can only request PHP pages from a server which runs the scripts. Because the server is what processes the script, PHP needs to be installed on the server for the server to be able to process PHP scripts. If PHP isn't installed, the server has no idea that "foo.php" is a PHP script so just sends it to the browser as an executable - in a way that forces the browser to prompt to download it. Consult your hosting provider's help for installing, setting up or enabling PHP. Alternatively, you can install it yourself if your host provides the permissions to (See the related questions for installation help). If your host does not provide PHP support, find another host.
